Björn Daelemans (born 11 December 1977) is a Belgian former footballer. He predominantly played as a forward, but later in his career he also appeared as right back. Daelemans was born in Ekeren[1][2] and made his debut in professional football in the 1995–96 season when playing for Germinal Ekeren in the Belgian First Division A.[1][3] The next season, he played for Cappellen F.C. in the Belgian Second Division.[1][3] He then moved to Verbroedering Geel from the same level, where he would play between 1997 and 2001.[1] In the 1998–99 season, he helped them achieve promotion to the First Division A through play-offs, contributing 17 goals from 33 league appearances.[2] After being relegated at the end of the following season, Daelemans played one more season for the club in the Second Division.[1][3] In the summer of 2001, he moved to the Netherlands, signing with Eerste Divisie club RBC Roosendaal.[1] In his first season, he made 28 appearances (four goals) and saw the club promoted to the Eredivisie through play-offs.[1][2] During his time with RBC, Daelemans appeared frequently, both as a starter and from the bench,[1] except between January 2005 and June 2005, when he was loaned out to his old club Verbroedering Geel.[1][4] At the end of the 2005–06 season, RBC were relegated from the Eredivisie and Daelemans was released from the club.[5] In May 2006, he signed for Heracles Almelo,[6] where he was asked to play as right back rather than as a forward.[7] After two seasons, in which he made 20 Eredivisie appearances, he was released.[8] He ended his career with Verbroedering Geel-Meerhout in the Belgian Fourth Division, playing for them between 2008 and 2010.[2][3] References
