Belgian footballer Joeri Poelmans will play for Helmond Sport. The 22-year-old left defender signed a two-season contract with an option for a third season.
In recent years, Poelmans was under contract with Lierse SK, where he made his debut at the age of 19. “Joeri is a talented young player who fits well with Helmond Sport. He is an ambitious player with an excellent mentality,” said Leon Vlemmings, Managing Director of Helmond Sport.
Poelmans is very happy to start at Helmond Sport. “Because of the good discussions with Helmond Sport and my team-mate Koen Weuts (former Helmond Sport player), I have a very positive feeling about the club. It allows me to say that I made the right choice. What’s more, I find Helmond’s mentality, hard work and rolling up his sleeves, doesn’t fit as a footballer,” Poelmans explains.
Before playing at Lierse SK, Poelmans was trained at the JMG Academy in Lierse. With the Lierse SK he has played over 50 games.
