Career report

Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Peak: 2021/22Trending downBreakout: 2021/22StreakyStepped up 2021/225 clubs

The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 5 clubs, including a move abroad — 187 appearances, 4 goals and 4 assists.

His best campaign on record is 2021/22 at KV Mechelen — Season rating 45, 2 goals and 1 assist in 32 games. 2021/22 was the leap — Season rating up 45 points at KV Mechelen. Form has slipped 21 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 23 Season points.

A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±16 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2021/22 (Jupiler Pro League) and kept playing — 32 games that season.
