Philippe Rommens (20 August 1997) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for Dutch Eredivisie club Go Ahead Eagles as a midfielder.[1]

Career

PSV

Rommens is a youth exponent from PSV Eindhoven, who he joined in 2006 together with his brother, Olivier.[2] Before, they had both started out at local club KFC Ranst, and moved to Lierse SK, where they played for four year before starting at the youth academy of PSV.[3]

Rommens made his professional debut as Jong PSV player in the second tier on 19 September 2014 against Sparta Rotterdam in a 2–0 home defeat.[4] Rommens scored his first goal in professional football on 8 August 2016 in a home game with Jong PSV against Den Bosch – which ended in a 5–4 win.[5] He scored the fourth goal for his team. Rommens played an official match against his brother Olivier for the first time on 9 September, where he with Jong PSV played in the Eerste Divisie again NAC Breda in a 1–1 draw.[6]

TOP Oss

Rommens played for PSV for twelve years, including four seasons – mainly as a substitute – for Jong PSV. A debut in the first team was, however, not in the cards. The club let him leave for TOP Oss on a free transfer in August 2018.[7] There, he almost immediately became a starter. TOP Oss reunited him with his brother Olivier in January 2019.[8]

On 31 July, it was announced that Rommens had suffered an injury which required surgery. He was subsequently sidelined for three to four months.[9] He returned to the pitch on 10 November in a 3–0 loss to Excelsior coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute for Kyvon Leidsman.[10][11]

Go Ahead Eagles

On 22 May 2021, it was announced that Rommens had signed a two-year contract with Go Ahead Eagles, with an option for an additional season. This meant, that he would join the recently promoted Eredivisie club for the 2021–22 season.[12] He made his debut on 13 August, opening day in the domestic league, in a 1–0 home loss to SC Heerenveen.[13]

Personal

His brother is football player Olivier Rommens, currently playing for TOP Oss.[8]
