It was in this club that he made his debut in paid football and played no less than 26 games in his first season (1986/87), during which he scored once. After having played one game for Feyenoord 1 during the season of 1988/89, he was lend out to BVV Den Bosch, where he left a good impression and was allowed to return to Feyenoord at the end of the season.
His second stay at Feyenoord’ stadium De Kuip went well for him and he was immediately guaranteed a starting position upon his return. During this time, which lasted until the winter break of the 1995/96 season, he won five awards with Feyenoord, including 4 cups and a national championship title.

After this adventure in Scotland, Regi returned to the Netherlands to make a transfer from RBC Roosendaal to Sparta Rotterdam after only six months, where he wrapped up his professional career a year and a half later. In total, Blinker played 400 games in paid football between 1986 and 2003 and scored 69 times.
