Starting his career with Kortrijk, Dejaegere moved to Gent in 2013, helping them to the 2014-15 Belgian Pro League title, and a subsequent last-16 run in the UEFA Champions League.

A move to Toulouse FC saw Dejaegere quickly appointed captain, helping them to the Ligue 2 title in 2022, claiming a landmark French Cup success the following year.

After playing in the MLS in 2024 for Charlotte FC, Dejaegere returned to Kortrijk on a two-year contract in August 2024. [2]
