Football career

edit

De Corte joined the first team of Lierse in late-2005.[1] He made his breakthrough in the second half of the 2005–06 season at the right back position. Due to an injury, De Corte was soon sidelined.[2] Subsequently, he was sent on loan to another club in Lier; Lyra.[3] After his stint at Lyra, De Corte signed with Royal Antwerp in the Belgian Second Division.[4] In the 2011–12 season, De Corte moved to Dutch second-tier Eerste Divisie club AGOVV after a successful trial.[5][6] At the beginning of 2013, that club went bankrupt.[7][8] De Corte then played for amateur clubs Oosterzonen, Houtvenne and FC Berlaar-Heikant.[9][10][11]
