Career

Early career

Born in Amsterdam, Guezen played in the youth departments of AFC, Ajax, ASV De Dijk and IVV before returning to AFC and subsequently moving to Feyenoord. As part of the Feyenoord youth academy, he stated in July 2015 that "Ajax was in his heart", and that he would have preferred to play in their youth academy; a controversial comment as the club is considered to be Feyenoord's fierce rivals. He afterwards played in the youth academy of ADO Den Haag, before leaving in 2018. Guezen then played shortly for Team VVCS in the summer break, a football team consisting of free agent players. His performances there earned him a contract at SC Cambuur, where he appeared at their under-21 team.

TOP Oss

In August 2020, Guezen signed a one-year contract with TOP Oss, coming over as a free agent from the Cambuur U21 team. He made his professional debut on 29 August, in a 2–1 home loss to Helmond Sport, coming on as a substitute for Cas Peters in the 68th minute.

PEC Zwolle

In August 2022, Guezen joined recently relegated Eerste Divisie club PEC Zwolle after a successful trial, signing an amateur contract. On 7 October, he made his debut for the club, replacing Davy van den Berg in the 78th minute of a 3–0 league loss against Dordrecht.

Zagłębie Sosnowiec

On 4 March 2023, it was announced that Guezen had joined Polish I liga club Zagłębie Sosnowiec on a one-year contract. He made his debut for the club that same day, in a 1–0 away loss against GKS Tychy, coming on as a 69th-minute substitute for Adrian Troć. On 12 March, he earned his first starting position for Sosnowiec, playing 56 minutes of a 1–0 home defeat against Skra Częstochowa.
