Julian Christiaan Brandes (born 11 May 2004) is a Dutch footballer who plays for Jong Ajax of the Eerste Divisie as a midfielder.

Club Career

Brandes joined the Ajax youth system on his eighth birthday in 2012.[1] Brandes has had to overcome injuries, including missing much of the 2019-20 season.[2] Despite this he has been identified as a promising player within the Ajax system.[3] Brandes was granted his first professional contract with Ajax on his eighteenth birthday in May 2022. It was a three-year contract to take him with the club until June 30, 2025 and includes the option for an extra year.[4][5]

In the summer of 2022 Brandes trained with the Ajax first team during pre-season training.[6] He made his unofficial debut playing in pre-season friendlies, and was on the substitutes bench for Jong Ajax at the start of the 2022-23 season. However, a leg injury caused him to miss months of action.[7] Brandes made his professional debut for Jong Ajax on March 17, 2023 in a 2-0 defeat against Almere City in the Eerste Divisie.[8] He scored his first Eerste Divisie goal in September 2023, against Jong AZ in a 5-2 defeat.[9]
