Rensch played in the youth academies of VV Unicum and Ajax. In the 2020–21 pre-season, Rensch, who had not yet made an appearance for Jong Ajax at that time, was given several minutes of play in Ajax's first team. During the regular season he was officially part of the first team, but he played most of his matches for Jong Ajax. On 19 November 2020, he was awarded the Abdelhak Nouri trophy as the best talent of Ajax's youth academy in the 2019–20 season.[4] He succeeded Naci Ünüvar, who received the prize a year earlier. Rensch made his debut for Ajax's first team on 28 November 2020, in an Eredivisie match against Emmen.[5] He made his first start on 31 January 2021.[6] On 18 February, he made his European debut in the UEFA Europa League against Lille OSC.[7] He scored his first goal for Ajax on 21 March in a 5–0 home win over ADO Den Haag.[8][9] In the course of the season he received more and more playing time as a right back, partly due to injuries to other players. Rensch fulfilled this role well and was a starter for Ajax in the second half of the season. On 18 April 2021, he won his first silverware with Ajax by beating Vitesse in the KNVB Cup final. After that, the Eredivisie title was also won.[10]
Born in the Netherlands, Rensch is of Surinamese descent. He was a youth international for the Netherlands.[11]
He made his debut for the Netherlands national football team on 7 September 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Turkey, a 6–1 home victory. He substituted Denzel Dumfries in the 71st minute.[12]
