Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]In September 2018, Beerten signed his first professional contract with Genk after joining the club's youth academy at the under-9 level.[1] His contract was extended in May 2021, committing him to the club until 2024.[2] In June 2021, he was one of seven academy players invited to join the first team for pre-season training.[3] During the first friendly match of the off-season against Eendracht Termien, Beerten provided an assist for Cyriel Dessers' bicycle kick goal.[4]
During the 2022–23 season, Jong Genk debuted in the Challenger Pro League, but Beerten was unable to feature for the reserves due to a long-term injury.[5]
Roda JC
[edit]In the summer of 2023, Beerten trained with Dutch Eerste Divisie club Roda JC and later signed a one-year contract with an option for an additional season.[6][7] On 27 October 2023, he made his official debut for Roda's first team, coming on as a substitute for Laurit Krasniqi in a 2–1 league victory over Jong Ajax.[8] Six days later, Beerten earned his first start in a 5–3 cup defeat to NEC.[9] He made 22 appearances in his first season at the club, establishing himself as a starter in the latter half.[10]
