Career

Coming from the Anderlecht youth squad, Cor Gillis started his professional career in the 2006-2007 for the Belgian champions. He suffered an injury in his debut for the team and had to return in the next season with only 1 cap.

Altogether he has made around 1900 minutes of play for the Belgian Champs in the Belgian league. He also starred in the UEFA Cup.

Gillis made a substitute appearance of 1 minute against Bayern in the UEFA Cup last year. Roda JC had him over on trial 2 times, but 2 times they decided to not grant him a contract because he doesn't add additional value to their squad.

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 bought a new defender.

Then went from R.S.C. Anderlecht

International

The 2007-2008 season saw him make more appearances with Anderlecht which I believe is around 5 appearances and made his way into the Belgian U-17's (now in the Belgian U-20's). He later made another 9 appearances, gaining 14 caps in the 2007/2008 season.

This season, he has made another 10 caps, making his total appearances up to a total over 25.

Cor Gillis was the captain for the Belgians U-17 and was regarded as a great prospect then, but now it looks he is passed by numerous other Belgian talents.
