Ferre Slegers (born 1 December 2004) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Eerste Divisie club MVV.
Career
In 2022, Slegers transitioned from the youth academy of Genk to Sint-Truiden.[1] His swift progress captured the attention of head coach Bernd Hollerbach.[2][3] Despite Hollerbach's admiration for Slegers, his breakthrough into the first team did not materialize, and the board opted not to renew his contract.[4]
On 20 June 2023, he joined Dutch second-tier Eerste Divisie club MVV, signing a two-year contract with an option for a third.[1][5] His professional debut for the club's first team came on 13 August 2023. In the opening match of the Eerste Divisie season against VVV-Venlo, ending in a 3–1 victory, Slegers earned a starting position under coach Maurice Verberne. He scored the opening goal shortly after halftime and was substituted in the 72nd minute for Dailon Livramento.[6][7]
International career
Slegers is a Belgium youth international. In November 2023, he received a call-up for the Belgium national under-20 team.[8] He made his debut for the side in a friendly against France U20 on 21 November, replacing Mo Salah in the 86th minute of a 2–2 draw.[9]
