With Julian Placias, KVC Westerlo secures its next summer transfer for the upcoming season. The 18-year-old American striker signs a contract at ’t Kuipje until 2027, with an option for an additional year.

The promising forward has already shown his potential in his home country in the American second division, where he played for North Carolina. The young striker immediately made his mark by scoring on his debut.

He now has the opportunity to continue this good form in the Kempen. The 1.88-meter tall Placias will play for us over the next three seasons with jersey number 49.

Good luck and welcome to Westerlo, Julian!
