Cor Gillis

Cor Gillis is a Belgian association football player who currently plays for KVK Ninove.

Career

Coming from the Anderlecht youth squad, Cor Gillis started his professional career in the 2006-2007 season for the Belgian Champions.
He had suffered an injury in his debut for the team and had to return in the next season with only 1 cap.
In total, he has played approximately 1900 minutes for the Belgian Champs in the Belgian league and was featured prominently in the UEFA Cup.
Gillis made a substitute appearance of 1 minute against Bayern in the UEFA Cup last year.
In 2008, Cor didn't even have a contract at Anderlecht; he was there simply as a youth player who sometimes trained with the first squad, although he was a member of their reserve team. He was hoping for some playing minutes in the Belgian cup, but never played as Anderlecht had bought a new defender.
Then went from R.S.C. Anderlecht to K.V. Mechelen on the 27th of January 2009.

International

The 2007–2008 season saw him make more appearances with Anderlecht and make his way into the Belgian U-17s. He later made another 9 appearances, gaining 14 caps in the 2007-2008 season.
In the 2023-2024 season, he had made another 10 caps, bringing his total appearances to a total over 25.
Cor Gillis was once the captain of the Belgian U-17 team and was celebrated as a promising talent. However, it seems that he has since been overtaken by several other exciting Belgian players.
