Van Bommel made his debut in the Eerste Divisie on 8 August 2022 away at Jong AZ appearing as a second-half substitute. His brother Thomas van Bommel started the game and they were playing alongside each other for 20 minutes until Thomas was withdrawn late in the second half.[1] On his first appearance at Maastricht’s home ground De Geusselt, a week after his pro debut, van Bommel scored his first professional goal in a 3-1 win against NAC Breda.[2][3] Van Bommel received some notoriety in September 2022 when he was one of two players, along with Jaymillio Pinas in a match between MVV and FC Dordrecht who were booked for simulation inside a minute of each other.[4][5] Also that month he scored his second professional goal in a 4-1 win against Jong Ajax.[6]
