Born in Alkmaar, Spierings began his youth career and professional career with his local team AZ.

He thereby became the third Dutch player to wear the club's colours, after Rob Rensenbrink and Branco van den Boomen. Spierings was in head coach Patrice Garande's starting lineup in his first match on 17 October against Ajaccio, in which he scored the later winner on a penalty-kick, securing the 1–0 victory. He scored five goals in his first eight games.
On 23 June 2023, Spierings signed for Ligue 1 club Lens on a four-year contract.
On 28 August 2024, Danish Superliga club Brøndby confirmed that they had bought Spierings, who signed a deal until June 2027.
