Simon Mignolet, a Belgian-born goalkeeper, was born on 6 March 1988 and currently plays for Club Brugge. He stands tall at 6 ft 3 in (1.93m) and has a sturdy physique, weighing 13st 9lb (87kg). Mignolet can be easily recognised on the field, sporting the number 22 jersey.
His current valuation stands around £1.7m, as detailed on Transfermarkt. The athlete currently has 1 year and 8 months remaining on his contract with Club Brugge, which is set to expire on 30 June 2026.
Mignolet's professional footballing journey began in July 2004 when he joined Sint-Truiden in the Pro League in Belgium as a trainee. He made his first appearances as a key part of the team during the 2006-2007 season, making two appearances in total. His role expanded in the following years with 25, and 26 appearances in subsequent seasons respectively.
In July 2010, Mignolet swapped leagues, moving from Belgium's Pro League to play for Sunderland in England's Championship, setting Sunderland back by £3m. His commitment and performance improved with each year, making 23, 29, and 38 appearances in the league matches throughout the 2010 to 2013 seasons.
A change came about in July 2013, when Mignolet made the move from Sunderland to Liverpool in the English Premier League, a transfer that cost Liverpool a hefty £9m. His stint at Liverpool saw him chalk up substantial game time, with appearances ranging between 19 and 38 in league matches across six seasons.
In August 2019, Mignolet once again made a move, this time returning to his home turf, Belgium, to play for Club Brugge in the Pro League, following a deal finalised at £6.4m. Since joining Brugge, Mignolet has consistently appeared in over 27 league matches per season, demonstrating his continued fitness and form.
His contribution has been pivotal not just in the domestic league, but also on grand stages such as the Pro League Play-Offs 2023-2024, the Conference League 2023-2024, Super Cup 2024-2025, and Champions League 2024-2025 representing Club Brugge.
