Career

In 2022, Slegers transitioned from the youth academy of Genk to Sint-Truiden. [3] His swift progress captured the attention of head coach Bernd Hollerbach. [4] [5] Despite Hollerbach's admiration for Slegers, his breakthrough into the first team did not materialize, and the board opted not to renew his contract. [6]

On 20 June 2023, he joined Dutch second-tier Eerste Divisie club MVV, signing a two-year contract with an option for a third. [3] [7] 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. [8] [9]

On 8 September 2025, Slegers signed a three-year contract with Challenger Pro League club Beveren, marking his return to Belgium. [10]

International career

Slegers is a Belgium youth international. In November 2023, he received a call-up for the Belgium national under-20 team. [11] 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. [12]
