Career

Lambers began playing football with Groningen after being scouted as a 17-year-old at his local club VV Zwartermeer.[1] After seven years as a reserve goalkeeper in Groningen, Lambers had a successful trial with Falkirk and signed for the Scottish Premier League club in 2006.[2]

Lambers returned to the Netherlands in 2007 after losing his starting spot in Falkirk to Kasper Schmeichel. Instead, he signed with Veendam where he was mostly a backup to Barry Ditewig. After playing some years in the lower leagues for WKE and VV Zwartemeer, he retired from football 2016 due to a bacterial infection in his knee.[1]
