Van den Eynden played youth football for KFC Lille, Westerlo, Beerschot, Mechelen and the Italian club Inter Milan.

In 2019, he joined Dutch second-tier Eerste Divisie club Eindhoven on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract.[2] He made his debut for the club on 27 September 2019 in a 4–1 home win against Telstar, coming off the bench in the 88th minute for Samy Bourard.[3] He scored his first goal for Eindhoven in the 4–0 cup victory against Rijnsburgse Boys.[4] After two seasons, his contract with Eindhoven expired. Afterwards, he was on trial with Lierse Kempenzonen and Lommel, but this did not result in a contract.[5][6]

During the 2021–22 season, Van den Eynden played for the under-21 team of Mechelen, sometimes playing alongside his brother, Bas Van den Eynden as a centre-back.[7]

Helmond Sport

On 25 May 2022, Van den Eynden signed a two-year contract with Eerste Divisie club Helmond Sport, with an option for an additional year.[8]
