Club career From Ostend, Verstraete came through the youth ranks at Club Brugge as a central midfielder, but only played six league games for the Blauw-Zwart before moving to Kortrijk in 2015. Two seasons followed at the Guldensporen before a big step-up to join Gent in 2017, who had won the Belgian title two years earlier. A poor start to the season saw the dismissal of coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck, but the Buffalos rallied to finish fourth under Yves Vanderhaeghe.

Verstraete only played nine games in the Bundesliga before returning to the Belgian Pro League ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
