There’s been some rumors going around lately, but now it’s official. Guillaume Gillet returns to the old nest. Gillet signed a contract for a season with the Purple & White U23.

CEO Peter Verbeke is delighted: “His experience will increase our competitiveness and he can help accelerate the development of our young talents. A perfect match.”

Gillet himself is also looking forward to the new challenge at “the club of his heart”. “Neerpede is bursting with young talent. I want to do my part by sharing my experience with the upcoming generation,” says the 38-year-old midfielder.

Between 2008 and 2016 Gillet was a permanent fixture in Anderlecht’s first team. He played 330 matches and won 4 national titles in the purple and white shirt.

The promise teams that are added to the amateur series may have two people over thirty in the selection next season. Those players are not allowed to play with the A-team in the same season.
