Career

Ajax

Born in Hoorn, Netherlands, Marco Bizot started his career in his early youth for SV Westfriezen in Zwaag, Netherlands. This is where he was discovered at age ten, and brought to Ajax's youth academy in 2000, from where he started in the E-youth levels. He joined the Jong Ajax selection for the 2010–11 season, where he received ample playing time under coaches Pieter Huistra and Fred Grim. After a successful season with Jong Ajax, Bizot received a contract extension, and was loaned to SC Cambuur in the Dutch Eerste Divisie for the 2011–12 season, in order to gain experience and to prove himself as a player.[1]

Groningen

On 14 June 2012, Ajax and FC Groningen came to the agreement of a direct transfer of Bizot. Bizot developed into a solid Eredivisie goalkeeper and played 50 matches in two season for the team.

Genk

On 22 June 2014, it was announced that Groningen had sold Bizot to Belgian side Racing Genk. He signed a contract for three years.

AZ Alkmaar

On 10 May 2017 Bizot signed a contract at AZ Alkmaar. He was picked as the replacement of Tim Krul, who returned to Newcastle United after a loan spell. Bizot played all 40 official games in the following season and met the finals of the TOTO KNVB Cup. After the summer, he remained consistent with the most clean sheets ever in the Eredivisie.[2] On February 2020 he extended his contract to mid-2022.

International career

Bizot earned his first full international call up in Ronald Koeman’s first Netherlands squad in March 2018. He made his debut in a friendly against Spain on the 11th of November 2020. [3]
