In May 2014, Monsecour signed a 3-year contract with Monsecour, with an option for one more year.[2] He only made his official debut on August 17, 2017 when Monsecour replaced an injured Branislav Niňaj in the 86th minute, in a league match against K.V.

On August 8, 2014, Monsecour receiver his first call-up for Lokeren in the Belgian First Division A, however, without making his debut.[4] He only made his official debut on February 18, 2017 when Monsecour replaced an injured Branislav Niňaj in the 86th minute, in a league match against K.V.
