Sporting Hasselt is gearing up for their upcoming season in the top amateur division, but their ambitions reach beyond just promotion. The club, now under the leadership of Sam Kerkhofs and Rik Verheye, secured their promotion in their first year as presidents.
Looking ahead, Kerkhofs and Verheye are determined to compete for titles and secure another promotion next season. Reports from Gazet van Antwerpen suggest that Sporting Hasselt is showing interest in 25-year-old Jorn Vancamp, a former striker for Anderlecht and Beerschot who recently played for La Louvière.
Vancamp had an impressive season with La Louvière, scoring 21 goals in the first division. While he has an option for another season in his contract, it seems unlikely to be exercised as he has not reached an agreement for an extended stay with the club. This has opened up opportunities for other clubs, including Sporting Hasselt, to pursue him.
Another player potentially on Sporting Hasselt’s radar is goalkeeper Mike van Hamel. His contract with La Louvière is set to expire at the end of the month, and despite efforts to negotiate a new deal, no agreement has been reached. This means van Hamel could be available for other clubs to sign.
As Sporting Hasselt continues to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, the possible addition of Vancamp and van Hamel could provide valuable experience and talent to help them achieve their ambitious goals. With their sights set on challenging for top honors and securing another promotion, the club is leaving no stone unturned in their recruitment efforts. Stay tuned for more updates as the transfer window progresses.
