Playing career

Cornelis was part of a last minute transfer deal in the late evening of 31 August 2009. Cercle Brugge and Genk came to an extensive agreement: Cornelis was sold to Cercle Brugge, his teammate Jelle Vossen joined him on loan. Thomas Buffel made the opposite move.

Following a trial at Notts County, Cornelis joined Deinze for the 2015–16 season. [1]

Managerial career

After having played for lower league club Zwevezele from 2017, Cornelis took over as player-coach in 2019. [2] One year later, he retired from playing football and continued as the team's manager. [3]

After Zwevezele withdrew from the national competitions after the 2021–22 season, [4] Cornelis was appointed new head coach of Belgian Division 2 club Lokeren-Temse on 4 June 2022. [5] He led the club to two consecutive promotions to reach the second-tier 2024–25 Challenger Pro League.
