After four seasons and a promotion, Gaari joined professional club RKC Waalwijk.{{cite web |last1=van Velthoven |first1=Florian |title=Laatbloeier Juriën Gaari schittert nu in het profvoetbal bij RKC Waalwijk: 'Droom die uitkomt' |url=https://www.omroepbrabant.nl/nieuws/2864647/laatbloeier-jurien-gaari-schittert-nu-in-het-profvoetbal-bij-rkc-waalwijk-droom-die-uitkomt |publisher=Omroep Brabant |access-date=23 September 2020 |language=nl |date=12 October 2018}} He made his debut for the first team on 17 August 2018, in a 1–0 home win over Telstar.
