Born in Belgium on 9th July 2002 (age 22), Hugo Siquet is a deft defender with a predilection to engage from the favourable right flank. He currently graces the pitch as a right back for Club Brugge, donned in the number 41 jersey, stands at a sturdy 5ft 10in (1.8m) and weighs 11st (70kg). In addition to his endeavors at club level, Siquet has also represented the Belgium U21 national team, consolidating his rising presence in the realm of football.
As for his market value, it is an estimated £4m, according to Transfermarkt. Given his blooming footprint in the sport, it's no surprise that Club Brugge secured his services until 30 June 2028, allowing for 3 more fruitful years and 8 months with the promising defender.
Siquet kicked off his journey as a grassroot player at Standard Liege in the Pro League in Belgium, joining as a trainee in July 2017. His initiation to the first team in the 2020-2021 season saw him make 16 appearances for Standard Liege, and he further cemented his place in the starting lineup the subsequent season with 17 starting caps.
In January 2022, in a bid to broaden his horizons, Siquet made a leap to the Bundesliga in Germany, aligning himself with Freiburg for a transfer fee of approximately £4.1m. Despite his promising start in Belgium, Siquet's early days in Germany yielded in a relatively meager three appearances over two seasons.
Siquet temporarily separated ties with Freiburg in January 2023, seeking greener pastures back in his native Belgium, this time with Cercle Brugge. Playing on loan, he proved his mettle with 14 appearances and two lucrative goals in his initial 2022-2023 season, followed by a commendable return of 20 appearances the next season.
By July 2024, our dedicated defender found a new home in Club Brugge in the Pro League in Belgium - transferring from Freiburg based on undisclosed financial terms. Currently, in the 2024-2025 season, he has sustained his integral role in the team, garnishing 6 appearances to his record thus far.
Siquet's international representational record is not to be dismissed lightly. He has been a mainstay in the Belgium U21 setup, appearing three times in the UEFA U21 Qualifiers in 2023, and a further nine outings during the UEFA U21 Championship Qualifiers in 2024-2025. Siquet's career track records speak volumes of an ascendant star, relentless in his passion for the spherical sport we all adore.
