Guillaume Gillet (born 9 March 1984) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Greek Superleague side Olympiacos and the Belgium national team.

Career

Club career

Born in Liège, Gillet has played for RFC Liège, Visé, Eupen, Gent, Anderlecht[1][2] and SC Bastia who Gillet joined on a season-long loan deal with on 10 July 2014.[3] On 1 November Gillet scored a costly own goal as Bastia lost 1–0 at home to Guingamp.[4]

On December 2015, Anderlecht defender said he has turned down an offer from LA Galaxy but that he could still move to Major League Soccer this winter. Gillet is out of contract at the end of the season and it looks likely that he will leave Belgium despite Anderlecht's desire to keep him. The former Belgian international, who can play at right-back or in central midfield, has been in excellent form since returning from a season on loan with SC Bastia in France's Ligue 1.[5] Eventually on December 28, 2015 has joined FC Nantes from Jupiler League champions Anderlecht.[6]

On 7 August 2017, Gillet signed a two-year contract with Olympiacos, thereby re-uniting with his former manager at Anderlecht, Besnik Hasi.[7]

International career

Gillet made his international debut for Belgium in 2007,[1] and has appeared in FIFA World Cup qualifying matches for his country,[8] scoring the equalising goal in the 45th minute in a 1–1 draw with Croatia.[9]
