Club career
Helmond Sport
Van Gassel made his professional debut in the Eerste Divisie for Helmond Sport on 22 April 2016 in a game against FC Oss.[2] In the 2016–17 season, he played the final games due to an injury to starting goalkeeper Ferhat Kaya. In the same season, he signed a contract extension with Helmond Sport until 2019. Due to Kaya's departure, Van Gassel became the starting goalkeeper of Helmond Sport ahead of the 2017–18 season.[3]
Excelsior
On 12 March 2021, Van Gassel rejected an offer by Helmond Sport to extend his contract, in order to pursue an opportunity to play at a higher level.[4] On 31 May 2021, he agreed to sign for fellow Eerste Divisie club Excelsior on a two-year contract starting 1 July.[5] He made his debut for the club on the opening day of the 2021–22 season in a 1–0 home loss to TOP Oss.[6] This match also marked his 150th professional appearance.[7]
