Stein Huysegems

Stein Huysegems (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈstɛin ˈɦœyzəɣɛms]; born 16 June 1982) is a Belgian former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Huysegems started his career at Belgian club Lierse SK, and has also played for the Dutch Eredivisie powerhouses like AZ, Feyenoord and FC Twente.

Before the start of the 2011–12 season of the Belgian Pro League, he was deemed surplus to requirements at Genk and his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

[1] As the contract between Genk and Huysegems had not been terminated before 30 June 2011, the Royal Belgian Football Association ruled that he was not allowed to play for his new team before 2012, causing him to be sidelined for almost 5 months, earning only a basic wage without bonuses.

[3] Huysegems scored on his Wellington Phoenix debut on 6 October 2012 in a 2–0 home win over Sydney FC in the opening game of the season.
