Club Career

ADO Den Haag

Born in Leidschendam, South Holland, Janmaat started his senior career in 2007–08, with ADO Den Haag in the Eerste Divisie.

Heerenveen

In the following off-season the 19-year-old moved straight into the Eredivisie, signing for SC Heerenveen. In Heerenveen's Europa League match against Hertha Berlin on 23 October 2009, Janmaat came on as a 73rd-minute substitute for Norwegian Christian Grindheim and received a red card three minutes later for a late challenge on Nemanja Pejcinovic but Heerenveen held on for a 1–0 victory. After serving a required suspension, Janmaat scored in his next Europa League appearance on 16 December 2009, netting his side's final goal in a 5–0 win over FK Ventspils at the Abe Lenstra Stadion in Heerenveen but the win proved insufficient as Heerenveen failed to qualify for the knockout stages.

On 21 December 2011, Janmaat scored Heerenveen's ninth goal in an 11–1 thrashing of Eerste Divisie side FC Oss to reach the quarter-finals of the KNVB Beker. During his four seasons with the club Janmaat was a starter in three after appearing in only ten games in his debut campaign, which ended with conquest of the Dutch Cup.
