Senne Lammens (born 7 July 2002) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Belgian Pro League club Royal Antwerp.

Club career

[edit]

Club Brugge

[edit]

Lammens came through the youth systems of KRC Bambrugge, Dender and Club Brugge.[1] On 3 October 2018 he was included in the first-team matchday squad for the UEFA Champions League group match away to Atlético Madrid, aged 16.[2]

On 11 December 2019, then 17-year-old Lammens scored a stoppage-time headed equaliser to make it 2–2 for Club Brugge's under-19s against Real Madrid's under-19s in the UEFA Youth League group stage; the result secured Brugge's progress to the knockout phase.[3]

He featured for Club NXT—Club Brugge's U23 side—in the First Division B during the 2020–21 season, the team's debut campaign at that level.[4]

With first-choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet injured, Lammens started for the senior side in the Belgian Super Cup on 17 July 2021, a 3–2 win over Genk.[5][6] He started again on the opening matchday of the Pro League season on 25 July 2021 against Eupen, and later appeared in a 3–0 Croky Cup win over Deinze on 27 October 2021.[7][8] On 22 May 2022 he came on as a second-half substitute for Mignolet in the final match of the champions' play-offs against Anderlecht.[9]

Antwerp

[edit]

On 8 June 2023, Lammens left Club Brugge at the end of his contract and signed a four-year deal with Antwerp, then the reigning Belgian champions.[10] He made his senior Antwerp debut on 1 November 2023, starting a 4–1 Belgian Cup win away to Lierse; coach Mark van Bommel had indicated beforehand that Lammens would be considered for the tie.[11][12][13]

During the 2023–24 season he served primarily as understudy to Jean Butez, featuring again in the domestic cup, including a December tie against Lierse.[14] By the start of the 2024–25 season he had established himself as Antwerp's first-choice goalkeeper ahead of Butez, a change noted widely in Belgian coverage.[15][16][17]

Lammens' performances in 2024–25 drew particular notice for shot-stopping and penalty saves; by mid-February he had saved four penalties in all competitions.[18] He was also a regular winner of Antwerp's fan-voted Player of the Month award during the season, including November 2024 and March 2025.[19][20][21]

International career

[edit]

In March 2025, Lammens was named in the senior Belgium squad for the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League play-off matches against Ukraine on 20 and 23 March 2025 respectively.[22][23][24]
