Career

Born in Rotterdam, Esajas joined the Feyenoord youth academy at age seven, developing there for ten years. In January 2020, he joined 2. Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg's under-19 team, but returned to the Netherlands six months later, signing with AZ's youth team for another brief stint before leaving in summer 2021.

In March 2024, he trialled with Emmen, though it did not lead to a contract.

In July 2024, Esajas signed with Eredivisie club Fortuna Sittard, and directly joined Eerste Divisie club MVV on a one-season loan deal. He made his debut for De Sterrendragers on 8 September 2024, replacing Rayan Buifrahi in the 60th minute of a 4–0 away loss to Telstar. He scored his first professional goal for MVV on 6 December in a 2–2 home league draw against Vitesse.

On 24 July 2025, Esajas signed a three-year contract with Liga Portugal 2 club Chaves.
