FC Volendam Technical Director Patrick Busby praised the development pathway demonstrated by the move, noting Van Cruijsen is the fourth player sold by the club this summer alongside Kayne van Oevelen, Gibson Yah, and Aurelio Oehlers.
"Robin's transfer to Sparta Rotterdam is a huge compliment to the youth academy and our club!" Busby said.
He emphasized the club's commitment to giving academy prospects real opportunities.
"We want to show that youth players genuinely get chances with us to reach the first team and make the next step through FC Volendam," Busby added.
