Youth career

Born just outside Rotterdam at Hoek van Holland, Kortsmit began his youth career at Feyenoord, until he was 15 years old. He left the then KNVB Cup champions in 2007, but didn't move far as he joined local side Westlandia. He spent a year with them and, in 2008, joined Feyenoord's rivals Sparta. The goalkeeper made his first appearance at under-19 level in a 3-1 defeat to sc Heerenveen. The following year, Kortsmit played in Sparta's reserve squad for two seasons and played 20 games, during which they were relegated from the Beloften Eredivisie.

He also made a second-half appearance in a 3-1 away defeat in a relegation/promotion play-off game, at the hands of FC Dordrecht. Kortsmit has now made more than 100 professional appearances for Sparta, he was heavily involved in the successful promotion battle in 2015–16.
