Kevin Vandenbergh (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkɛ.vɪn vɐn.dɛm.ˈbɛrx]; born 16 May 1983 in Bonheiden) is a Belgian football striker who currently plays for Ramsel in the Belgian Provincial Leagues.[1]
He also earned some caps with Belgium and the Belgian U21 team, with his debut in the national side in 2004. Vandenbergh scored a hat-trick in Belgium's 2–3 win to Ukraine in the round of 16 of 2006 U21 European Football Championship.
K.R.C. Genk
Vandenbergh played for K.V.C. Westerlo until 2002, then he went to K.R.C. Genk. His father, Erwin Vandenbergh, was one of the most prolific strikers in the 1980s for Belgium.
In 2002, at the age of just 18, Vandenbergh was signed by the Flemish side Genk. He proved to be an exceptional goal-scorer just like his father, 66 goals in the four seasons (overall 138 appearances) he was in Fenix Stadion. After a successful 2007 season for his club where Genk came in 2nd place, he joined Dutch Eredivisie side Utrecht. This was due to a falling-out with his manager Hugo Broos. Vandenbergh could not fit in with Broos' plans, eventually his place in the starting XI replaced by Goran Ljubojevic.
