YOUTH The 15-year-old Jarne Flies has signed his first professional contract today. This is what Anderlecht communicated. Flies, an attacking midfielder, is the first player born in 2007 to sign a professional contract.


Jarne Flies plays for Anderlecht since he was eight years old. He's the son of former soccer player Thierry Flies. He played for Ostend and Beveren in first division, among others.

"Jarne is a versatile player who can play in just about any position in midfield. As a number 10 he is a feast for the eyes, combining technical skills with a great winning mentality," it sounds on rsca.be.

Flies signed a contract for three seasons.
