Career

PSV

Tielemans was born in Veldhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands, and started playing football for local club RKVVO in 2008. [4] In 2010, he joined the PSV youth academy, progressing through the youth teams before reaching the reserve team, Jong PSV in 2020. [1] On 20 June 2020, Tielemans signed his first professional contract with PSV, a one-year contract. [5]

He made his professional debut for Jong PSV on 6 November 2020, playing the full away match against FC Den Bosch in the Eerste Divisie, which they won 2–1, and in which Tielemans provided an assist for Fodé Fofana. [6] Jong PSV was without eighteen players for the game, twelve of whom were sidelined due to a COVID-19 infection. As a result, they fielded a number of youth players, including Tielemans. [7] On 24 November, he scored his first professional goal in a 1–1 league draw against Jong Utrecht, heading in the follow-up from Joël Piroe's saved shot. [8] [9]

Following Tielemans' breakthrough for Jong PSV, his contract with the club was extended on 23 March 2021; he signed a two-year contract until 2023. [10] [11]

In the 2022–23 season, Tielemans evolved into a key player for Jong PSV and was appointed team captain. [12] [13] On 24 October 2022, he scored his first brace in a convincing 6–0 victory against local rivals Helmond Sport. [14]
