Born in Nijmegen,[1] after playing with amateur club SV Orion,[2] Loen began his career with the youth team of hometown club NEC in 2001,[3] and later played for Dordrecht, Sparta Rotterdam, Fortuna Sittard, FC Emmen and Almere City.[1][3][4]

After two seasons with Almere City, in which he scored 8 goals and made 15 assists in 65 games, he was told he was no longer wanted by the club.[2][5] He left the club at the end of June 2020, and returned to former club SV Orion in July 2020, as well as a second amateur club Brakkenstein, to train in order to maintain fitness.[2]

Later that month he began training with TOP Oss.[6][7] He remained training with TOP Oss in October 2020, although the club said they would not be signing him to a contract.[8] Later that month he signed for Greek club Doxa Drama.[9]

On 26 January 2021, Loen signed for Finnish club FC Haka.[10][11]

On 19 January 2022, he joined Mosta in Malta.[12]

After a stint back in the Netherlands, Loen moved to Gibraltar in August 2024 with Glacis United, making his debut on 25 August in a 2–1 defeat to Europa.[13]
