Schenk joined the youth ranks of the Amsterdam club from FC Omniworld (now known as Almere City FC) in 2001, working his way up the youth ranks, he signed his first professional contract with Ajax in the summer of 2012, a two-year contract which tied him to the club until the summer of 2014.[2] Starting his professional career in the reserve squad Jong Ajax, playing in the Beloften Eredivisie. Unable to break into the first team, Schenk was then subsequently loaned out to Go Ahead Eagles from Deventer during the winter transfer window, playing in the Eerste Divisie, the second tier of professional football in the Netherlands for the remainder of the 2012–13 season.[3]

In Deventer, Schenk played a strong remainder of the season during his loan spell from Ajax. Making 15 appearances for his new club as a centre-back, Schenk helped his side to get promoted to the Eredivisie by the end of the season. He played his first match for Go Ahead Eagles on 1 February 2013 in a 1–0 loss at home against FC Den Bosch. Finishing the season sixth in the table, his team qualified for the promotion/relegation playoffs, where his side was able to secure promotion with Schenk playing in all six playoff encounters.

Following his successful stint with the Go Ahead Eagles, he was transferred to the club permanently from Ajax during the summer break on 14 June 2013, signing a two-year contract with the newly promoted club.[4] He made his Eredivisie debut in the 1–1 draw against FC Utrecht on 4 August 2013 at the Stadion Galgenwaard.[5] He scored his first goal six days later against ADO Den Haag on 10 August 2013 in a 2–1 win at home, scoring the opening goal in the 21st minute.[6]
