Emiel Callens (18) has extended his contract at Club NXT until 2028. The attacking midfielder is a purebred youth product of Club Brugge. He went through all of Blauw-Zwart's youth series and joined the U7 in 2014. Today he is part of Club NXT U18, where he scored 4 goals in 14 games this season. He was also included in the selections for the UEFA Youth League several times in recent seasons.
Even within the club it remains a real family story: his younger sister Irene plays in the youth operation of Club YLA. Emiel combines his trajectory at Club NXT with his studies at KTA Bruges.
Due to his strong performance and constant development, Emiel now sees his contract extended until 2028.
