In the 2017–18 season, Essers became a starter for Fortuna who finished second in the league table and reached promotion to the Eredivisie.[4]

On 31 August 2021, he moved to Eerste Divisie club MVV on a one-year contract with an option for the second year.[1] He made his debut for the club on 5 September 2021, replacing Rico Zeegers in the 80th minute of a 3–0 league win over Telstar.[5] On 14 January 2022, Essers scored his first professional goal in the 91st minute of a 2–1 away loss to Telstar in the Eerste Divisie.[6] The following week, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament of his knee, sidelining him for an extended period of time.[6]
