BEERSCHOT SIGNS HERVE MATTHYS

Yet another transfer for Beerschot. Today 26 year old defender Hervé Matthys joined the club on a free from ADO Den Haag in Holland. He signed a two year contract with an option for an extra year.

Matthys started playing football at Club Brugge and joined Anderlecht when he was 16. Two years later he moved to Holland to play for FC Eindhoven; last season he just missed out on promotion to the Eredivisie with ADO Den Haag. He played 41 games there.
 

"What didn't work out with ADO hopefully does at Beerschot: getting to the top division", Hervé Matthys says. "I like the club's ambition and am looking forward to this new challenge. I already know a couple of players. Thibaud Verlinden is one of them, and I have played against Dante Rigo. So I won't be a complete stranger when I enter the dressing room for the first time."

"I don't think I will need time to adapt. My girlfriend and I like where we are living now, so we stay put. Maybe later we may consider moving to Antwerpen. No pressure though."
