Career

De fauw played for Club Brugge from age five until he was brought to Dutch club Sparta Rotterdam by then manager Frank Rijkaard. [2] In the 2001–02 season, he made his professional debut for Sparta. On 16 March 2002 in the 0–4 away loss to Willem II in the Eredivisie, De fauw came on as a substitute for the injured David Mendes da Silva after 16 minutes. [3]

In January 2006, De fauw signed for Roda JC, joining the club from 30 June 2006. [4] There he quickly became a permanent starter in defense and made more than 180 appearances in the Eredivisie. [5]

De fauw returned to his native Belgium in the 2011–12 season, signing for Zulte Waregem. [6] There, he was immediately appointed team captain after the departure of Ludwin Van Nieuwenhuyze. [7] At the start of the 2013–14 season, De fauw had to give up his captaincy to Thorgan Hazard. [8] This was met with much anger from a section of the club's supporters [9] and led to Hazard handing the captain's armband back less than 24 hours after receiving it. [10]

On 20 June 2014, it was announced that De fauw had signed for Club Brugge for €200,000; thus returning to where he had started his career. [11]

For the 2016–17 season, De fauw returned to Zulte Waregem. [12]

Coaching career

In April 2020, De fauw announced his retirement from football. He became assistant coach of Zulte Waregem alongside Timmy Simons, a former teammate of his at Brugge. [13] [14]

Personal life

Unusually, De fauw's family name is written with a lowercase "f". When asked about this, De fauw said: "I hail from Maria-Aalter. My dad always said that the person in the town hall may have been a little drunk and therefore wrote the family name with a small f. That's how it happened". [1]
