Rob was a key figure at Mechelen. With his golden touch, he scored 6 goals and delivered 5 assists last season, and he's already found the net twice this season. His journey began at STVV, his formative club, where he spent 13 years. After a stint at KAA Gent, he joined KV Mechelen in 2017 and quickly became a decisive force.

Now, with 424 professional matches under his belt, Rob heads into the next three seasons with the same drive to leave his mark on the game.

Welcome to Union, Rob. Welcome to the home of the Belgian champions.
