After negative remarks over teammate Brian Priske in November 2006, he was relegated to the B-Team. In December 2006 he was told he could leave Club Brugge. Passings Belgian clubs had been interested, but Roelandts finally chose to be loaned out to K.F.C. Germinal Beerschot. In June 2007, he signed a 3-year contract at SV Zulte Waregem.
