James Lahousse (born 9 November 1982) is a retired Belgian professional footballer. [1]
Lahousse started his career with Roeselare in the Belgian Second Division, playing his first match during the 2001-02 season. Lahousse was a key player in the Roeselare team that became third in 2003-04 and narrowly missed out on promotion during the playoffs. In 2004-05 Roeselare did manage to win the playoffs after becoming second, with Lahousse again playing over 30 matches that season. He remained a key player after the promotion, playing 34 matches and scoring two goals in the 2005–06 Belgian First Division. He only featured seldom in the following season, causing him to leave Roeselare in June 2007, when he signed for second division team OH Leuven. Again he became a key player, playing 56 matches in two seasons before moving to Oostende in the same division, where he played 55 matches in two seasons before moving to Boezinge at the fifth level of Belgian football.
Lahousse retired at the end of the 2018-19 season. [2]

At the other end of the table, the struggle to avoid automatic relegation went on until the final round, and it was Lierse who eventually prevailed. Having spent the entire season at the bottom of the standings and only just managing to close an eleven-point gap up to 17th, the Lier side won their last game to climb past Beveren and send the latter down to the Second Division.

Dender EH became champions on 25 May 2022 after winning their final match of the Promotion play-offs at home to Dessel, while their only remaining opponent RFC Liège, lost away to Knokke.
