Stein Huysegems (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈstɛi̯n ˈɦœy̯.sə.ˌʝəms]) (born 16 June 1982) is a Belgian striker currently playing for Lierse SK. He has represented the Belgium national football team twice in 2004.

Career

He started his career at Belgian club Lierse SK, and has also played for the Dutch Eredivisie powerhouses like AZ, Feyenoord and FC Twente.

On 16 January 2009, Huysegems signed a contract at K.R.C. Genk lasting until 30 June 2013.

In September 2010, he went out on loan until the end of the season to the Dutch Eredivisie club Roda JC, but his deal was terminated on 22 March 2011. Before the start of the 2011-12 season of the Belgian Pro League, he was deemed surplus to requirements at Genk and his contract was terminated by mutual consent. Some weeks later, he signed an achievement based one-year contract with Lierse on 3 September 2011 [1]. As the contract between Genk and Huysegems had not been terminated before 30 June 2011, the Royal Belgian Football Association ruled that he was not allowed to play for his new team before 2012, causing him to be sidelined for almost 5 months, earning only a basic wage without bonuses [2].
