Devyne Fabian Jairo Rensch (born 18 January 2003) is a Dutch professionalfootballer who plays as aright-back orcentre-back for ItalianSerie A clubRoma and theNetherlands national team.
Rensch played in the youth academies of VV Unicum andAjax. In the 2020–21 pre-season, Rensch, who had not yet made an appearance forJong Ajax at that time, was given several minutes of play in Ajax's first team. During the regular season he was officially part of the first team, but he played most of his matches for Jong Ajax. On 19 November 2020, he was awarded the Abdelhak Nouri trophy as the best talent of Ajax's youth academy in the 2019–20 season.[4] He succeededNaci Ünüvar, who received the prize a year earlier. Rensch made his debut forAjax's first team on 28 November 2020, in anEredivisie match againstEmmen.[5] He made his first start on 31 January 2021.[6] On 18 February, he made his European debut in theUEFA Europa League against Lille OSC.[7] He scored his first goal for Ajax on 21 March in a 5–0 home win overADO Den Haag.[8][9] In the course of the season he received more and more playing time as a right back, partly due to injuries to other players, and he featured as a starter for Ajax in the second half of the season. On 18 April 2021, he won his first silverware with Ajax by beatingVitesse in theKNVB Cup final. After that, theEredivisie title was also won.[10]
Rensch played less during the2021–22 season, losing his starting spot toNoussair Mazraoui.[11] Before the start of the2022–23 season, Rensch expressed his wish of playing a more decisive role after struggling to find his form in the previous season, and after the departure of fellow right-back Mazraoui.[12] However, Ajax also brought inJorge Sánchez for the position.[13] After the start of the season, Rensch regained his form and became the starter.[14][15]
On 23 January 2025, Rensch signed withRoma in Italy.[16]
Born in the Netherlands, Rensch is of Surinamese descent. He was a youth international for the Netherlands.[17]
He made his debut for theNetherlands national football team on 7 September 2021 in aWorld Cup qualifier againstTurkey, a 6–1 home victory. He substitutedDenzel Dumfries in the 71st minute.[18]
