Born in Utrecht, Schut began his career with hometown club FC Utrecht, making his professional debut on 3 October 1999.[3][4]

In 2004 he spent seven months injured following a bacterial infection in his knee.[5] In March 2005 he suffered another knee injury, ending his season.[6] He was still suffering from that same injury in January 2006; at that time he was expected to return to fitness in April 2006.[7]

He suffered further injuries, and only played 51 league matches between 2005 and March 2010.[8][9]

On 10 May 2011, during a training session with his team, Schut collided with his Romanian teammate Mihai Neșu breaking his cervical vertebrae and leaving Neșu paralyzed from the waist down.[10]

In August 2011, after spending thirteen seasons with FC Utrecht, Schut was the longer-serving player of any club in the Eredivisie.[3]

By October 2011 Schut was the club captain of FC Utrecht.[11]
