Malik Dijksteel, born in the Netherlands on 8 July 2001, is a forward footballer recognised for his skills as a right winger. At the age of 24, he currently plays for St Mirren, donning the number 18 jersey. Standing at 5ft 9in (1.76m) and weighing 11st 6lb (73kg), Dijksteel has carved his way into the professional arena of football.
As per the data gathered by Transfermarkt, Dijksteel's current market value is estimated around £63k.
His journey began in July 2020 when he was signed into Telstar, a club part of the Eredivisie in his home nation, the Netherlands. Barely a year later, Dijksteel moved leagues, joining Middlesbrough in the Championship division of England in February 2021.
After another brief stint in England with Wrexham in March 2023, Dijksteel's footballing journey took him to the Emerald Isle. He signed with Cork City from the First Division in the Republic of Ireland in August 2023, marking his debut season with eight first team appearances in league matches. He followed through in the 2025 season with ten first team appearances and scored his first goal in league matches.
In July 2025, Dijksteel made a move to the Scottish Premiership, signing for St Mirren for an undisclosed fee. In the current season of 2025 - 2026, Dijksteel has been a regular fixture in the first team line-up, making eight appearances in league matches. Additionally, he represented St Mirren in both the League Cup 2025 - 2026 and Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 tournaments, making a handful of appearances as a substitute in both cups.
Even though Dijksteel's journey around Europe and to the shores of Scotland has been fairly transient thus far, his performances indicate that he has the potential to be a strong addition to any squad, including his current post at St Mirren.
