Bakhuys made his senior debut for HBS on 27 September 1925 against Haarlem[2] and scored 36 goals in 44 matches for them.[3] He joined Zwolsche AC and had a spell with THOR in his native Dutch East Indies while working for the Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij in Surabaya.[4] He returned to ZAC and later HBS. In 1937 he controversially moved to VVV.[5]
He became the second Dutch player to play outside of the country[6] when he signed as a professional for FC Metz in 1937, in a move which ended his international career. The first Dutch national to play abroad was goalkeeper Gerrit Keizer.[6] Bakhuys was famous for his diving headers.[citation needed] During the Second World War he was forced to work in Leipzig.[5] Throughout his both spells at ZAC, Bakhuys scored 147 goals, in 99 games.[7]
Bakhuys scored 28 goals in 23 games for the Dutch national side.[1][8] He represented the Netherlands at the 1934 FIFA World Cup,[9]
