Jarne Steuckers (born 4 February 2002) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian Pro League club Genk.
Steuckers was born and raised in Sint-Truiden, Limburg. He started his youth training at Sint-Truidense VV, the professional football club from his hometown. In 2012, he moved to the youth team of Genk, but returned to Sint-Truiden four years later, [2] where he signed his first professional contract in May 2020. [3]
After impressing with the under-23s, coach Peter Maes promoted Steuckers to the first-team squad in January 2021. [4] On 17 January 2021, he made his official debut in the Belgian Pro League in the home game against Oud-Heverlee Leuven. In the 72nd minute, Steuckers replaced Yuma Suzuki as Sint-Truiden were up 3-1 which was also the final result in the match. [5] Later that season, he was given more playing opportunities by Maes. On 3 February 2021, for example, he made his first ever start in a Belgian Cup match against Lokeren-Temse. [6] [7] [8] On the penultimate matchday of the regular season, Steuckers, who had been sidelined with a COVID-19 infection a month earlier, was given his first starting berth in the Belgian Pro League against his former youth club Genk. [9] [10]
Steuckers put in strong performances during the 2021–22 pre-season under new coach Bernd Hollerbach, but a foot injury threw a spanner in the works. In late November 2021 he made his comeback in a friendly. [11] [12] Under Hollerbach, he struggled to return to first-team action and he made no appearances the remainder of the season. [13]
He signed a new contract with Sint-Truiden in July 2022, [14] and was sent on a season-long loan to Dutch second-tier Eerste Divisie club MVV on 4 August 2022. [15] Sint-Truiden announced on 9 February 2023 that Steuckers would return to the club after his loan spell, where he had impressed as a starter. [16] Steuckers became a pivotal player during his season at MVV, featuring in almost every match and showcasing his skills with eight goals and ten assists. [17]
On 9 June 2024, Steuckers returned to Genk after seven years, signing a four-year deal. [18]
