Cor Gillis (Born on the 31st of March in 1989) is a Belgian association football player who currently plays for KVK Ninove.

Career

Coming from the Anderlecht youth squad, Cor Gillis started his professional career in the 2006-2007 season for the Belgian Champions.

He had suffered an injury in his debut for the team and had to return in the next season with only 1 cap.

In total, he has played approximately 1900 minutes for the Belgian Champs in the Belgian league and was featured prominently in the UEFA Cup.

Gillis made a substitute appearance of 1 minute against Bayern in the UEFA Cup last year.

In 2008, Cor didn't even have a contract at Anderlecht; he was there simply as a youth player who sometimes trained with the first squad, although he was a member of their reserve team. He was hoping for some playing minutes in the Belgian cup, but never played as Anderlecht had bought a new defender.

Then went from R.S.C. Anderlecht to K.V. Mechelen on the 27th of January 2009.[1]

International

The 2007–2008 season saw him make more appearances with Anderlecht and make his way into the Belgian U-17s (Now in the Belgian U-20s). He later made another 9 appearances, gaining 14 caps in the 2007-2008 season.

In the 2023-2024 season, he had made another 10 caps, bringing his total appearances to a total over 25.

Cor Gillis served as captain of the Belgian U-17 team and was regarded as a promising prospect. In later years, other Belgian players received greater attention.
