On 25 March 2022, Seuntjens joined FC Imabari in the Japanese third-tier J3 League. [3] He was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May 2022, and therefore ruled out for a substantial time.

On 24 December 2023, it was announced that Seuntjens would be returning to De Graafschap, effective 1 January 2024, after signing a six-month contract. [6] [7]
His younger brother Mats Seuntjens is also a professional footballer. [8]
On 12 May 2022, a neoplasm was discovered after a medical examination on Seuntjens' shoulder. [9] [10] On 17 June, he wrote on Instagram that a diagnosis had been made, and that he was to undergo treatment. [11] The diagnosis was later revealed to be Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. [4] In January 2023, he was declared cancer-free. [12]
