He participated with the Netherlands under 17 squad at the 2005 under 17 European Championships, where the Dutch reached the final. Buijs provided the assist for the winning goal in the semi-final against Italy. He also took part with the same team at the Under 17 World Championships in Peru where they became third.

Career
editFeyenoord
editIn July 2007 Buijs became officially part of Feyenoord's first team managed by Bert van Marwijk. He was awarded squad number 23. But, after having no chances on the first team, he was loaned to De Graafschap for a half-year period, on 30 January 2008.
De Graafschap
editIn his first period at De Graafschap he didn't play that much. In the second half of the 2007/2008 season he only played in 6 Eredivisie games for De Graafschap. Although he didn't play a lot of games De Graafschap decided to sign Jordy Buijs. In the beginning of the 2008/2009 season Buijs still wasn't a first eleven player. But during the season Buijs became important player. He played on the left back position but also on the midfield. He scored his first goal for De Graafschap in the home game versus Sparta Rotterdam. He scored the 3–1. Unfortunately the game ended in a 3–3 draw. He played in 28 games in the Eredivisie in the 2008/2009 season. He also scored a beautiful free kick in the play-off match versus MVV Maastricht. Jordy Buijs became a fan favorite and is well known with his rushes down the leftflank and his clever passes.
NAC Breda
editIn the summer of 2011, Buijs signed a three-year contract with NAC[1] and became an important player for the team. He again played both as a centre back and a defensive midfielder. After three seasons, Buijs left as a free agent as he claimed to be ready for a new challenge
SC Heerenveen
editBuijs found this new challenge with SC Heerenveen and signed a two-year contract, having denied offers from ADO Den Haag, FC Groningen and Panathinaikos. However, he left them after half a season by mutual consent for Roda JC.[2] In summer 2016 he moved abroad to play for Romanian side Pandurii Târgu Jiu.[3]
Sydney FC
editOn 13 January 2017, Buijs signed with A-League club Sydney FC on a 5 month contract, with an option for an extra year.[4] He made his debut for the club in its annual 'Big Blue' Australia Day derby clash against Melbourne Victory helping his team to a 2–1 win at Etihad Stadium.[citation needed]
On 29 April 2017, Buijs scored his first goal for Sydney FC, in a 3–0 win over Perth Glory in the A-League finals series.[5] The goal was the first ever to be reviewed by the video assistant referee (VAR).[citation needed]
