Immers training with Feyenoord in 2014.

It was announced on 1 June 2012 that Immers agreed to join Feyenoord from ADO Den Haag.[50] Four days later, on 5 June 2012, Immers signed a contract with the club which tied him to the club until 2016. The transfer fee was not disclosed, but was believed to be approximately €1m.[51] ADO also obtained Feyenoord youngster Kevin Jansen as part of the transaction.[52] Immers was handed the number 10 jersey previously worn by John Guidetti.[53]

Immers made his debut for Feyenoord on 31 July 2012, setting up a goal, in a 2–1 loss against Dynamo Kyiv in the third round first leg of the UEFA Champions League and was ultimately eliminated from tournament following a 1–0 loss in the second leg.[54][55] He then made his league debut for the club, starting the whole game, in a 1–0 win over Utrecht in the opening game of the season.[56] After scoring two goals against Heracles Almelo[57] and PEC Zwolle,[58] Immers then scored a hat–trick on 29 September 2012, in a 5–1 win over NEC, just three days after scoring in the KNVB Cup, in a 3–2 win.[59] After scoring five more goals by the end of 2012, Immers, however, faced with goal drought, as he have been missing penalties[60] and was sidelined from the first team on two occasions.[61][62] Despite this, he scored two goals against Vitesse[63] and Heracles Almelo.[64] Elsewhere during the 2012–13 season, Immers scored three times in the KNVB Cup against NEC,[65] Xerxes DZB[66] and Heerenveen.[67] At the end of the 2012–13 season, Immers went on to make forty appearances and scoring fifteen times in all competitions.

In the 2013–14 season, Immers continued to be a first team regular and was preferred in the attacking midfield since the start of the season.[68] He scored his first goal for the club on 15 September 2013, as well as, providing one of the goals, in a 3–3 draw against NEC.[69] By the end of 2013, he scored six goals, including Go Ahead Eagles,[70] and PEC Zwolle (twice).[71] As a result, on 24 October 2013, it was announced that Feyenoord hired Immers the first two years to avoid paying an agency commission.[72] Immers went on to score five more goals and scored two goals in two matches on two occasions; one was between 4 February 2014 and 8 February 2014 against Roda JC,[73] and NEC,[74] while another was between 16 March 2014 and 30 March 2014 against Heerenveen[75] Go Ahead Eagles.[76] At the end of the 2013–14 season, having missed one match, due to suspension,[77] Immers went on to make thirty–eight appearances and scoring twelve times in all competitions. Although he was linked a move away from the club,[78] Immers ended the transfer speculation by signing a contract extension, keeping him until 2017.[79]

In the 2014–15 season, Immers captained Feyenoord for the first time following an injury of their original captain Jordy Clasie and set up a goal, in a 1–1 draw against Heerenveen on 15 August 2014.[80] He went on to captain on two occasions later in the season against Willem II[81] and Dordrecht.[82] Immers scored his first goal of the season, as well as, assisting twice, in a 4–0 win over Groningen on 5 October 2014.[83] He then scored a brace on 6 December 2014, in a 5–2 win over Excelsior[84] and then scored against them in their second meeting of the season on 22 February 2015.[85] His goal against NAC Breda on 8 March 2015 was the first goal to score under the goal–line technology in the league, in a 3–0 win.[86] Although he went on to score four more goals later in the season, he also scored in a UEFA Europa League match on 6 November 2014, in a 2–0 win over HNK Rijeka.[87] Despite the 2014–15 season saw Immers plagued by injuries,[88][89][90] he went on to make forty appearances and scoring seven times in all competitions.

However, in the 2015–16 season, Immers’ first team opportunities became limited and was placed on the substitute bench under the new management of Giovanni van Bronckhorst.[91] Immers also faced with his own injury concerns along the way.[92][93] Despite this, he went on to make seven appearances by the time he left for Feyenoord in January.[94] During his time at Feyenoord, he was the fan favourite.[95]

Cardiff City

Immers joined Cardiff City on loan on 21 January 2016.[96]

After making his debut for the club, in a 2–2 draw against Rotherham United as a second-half substitute on 23 January 2016,[97] He scored his first goal for the club on 30 January 2016 in a 3–2 win at Huddersfield Town.[98] Three weeks later, on 20 February 2016, Immers scored again, as well as, setting up one of the goals, in a 4–1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.[99] Immers went on to score three more goals later in the season against Bristol City,[100] Reading[101] and Fulham.[102] Immers went on to score 5 goals in 15 games for the Bluebirds, as they narrowly missed out on a play-off place.

At the end of the 2015–16 season, Immers signed a two-year deal with Cardiff City on 1 July 2016 at the opening of the summer transfer window.[103] He also revealed he turned down at least "four clubs" to stay at the club.[104] At the start of the 2016–17 season, Immers had a handful of first team appearances under Paul Trollope despite struggles to score goals, resulting his demotion to the substitute bench.[105] To make matter worst, the arrival of Neil Warnock pushed Immers out of the first team, who prefers "up front with players" and "didn't have the physical presence of a Rickie Lambert or Kenneth Zohore as centre-forward."[106] On 6 January 2017, Immers' contract was cancelled by mutual agreement.[107] During his time at Cardiff City, Immers became the club's fan favourite.[108]
