Malacia joined Feyenoord’s youth system at the age of nine and progressed through the Dutch side's ranks over the years that followed. The left-back was awarded his first professional contract with the club in December 2015, before making his first mark on the senior team two years later.
He played the full 90 minutes of Feyenoord’s 2-1 win over Napoli in the Champions League as his debut came on 6 December 2017.
The 2021/22 season
was Malacia’s best statistical season as a professional in terms of goals and assists. The left-back scored once and assisted five times, as Feyenoord reached the final of the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League.
Despite the Dutch side losing to Roma in the final, Malacia played 88 minutes against the Italian side, and was also named in the tournament's Team of the Season.
The defender also featured in international friendlies against Denmark and Germany in March 2022 and has established himself as a trusted and valuable member of Louis van Gaal’s side heading into this winter’s Qatar World Cup.
