Encyclopedia
Cor Gillis is a Belgian
association football player who currently plays for K.V. Mechelen.
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
to K.V. Mechelen on 27 January 2009.
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.
