Hugo Siquet will play at Cercle Brugge until the end of the season. The international promises come over on a rental basis from Bundesliga club Freiburg. Green-black announced this on Saturday. Cercle also has an option for an additional season.

Twenty-year-old Siquet already left the Freiburg training camp in Sotogrande, Spain, on Friday. He set sail for Bruges to take his medical tests.
“I have chosen to return to Belgium and to the Jupiler Pro League, a competition that I know very well and that I appreciate. Moreover, I am very happy to be able to sign with Cercle Brugge, a very warm and ambitious team. I can’t wait to get on the field,” Siquet said in a first reaction.

The right back has been eyeing a transfer for some time. At Freiburg, which took him over from Standard in January last year, he was never able to make his mark. He only came into action four times this calendar year for Freiburg’s main force. The club of coach Christian Streich is surprisingly second in the Bundesliga halfway through the season, only four points behind leaders Bayern.
Siquet is a fixed value in the selection of Jacky Mathijssen, the national coach of the Belgian reserves. He played in the qualifying campaign on the way to the European Championship in Romania and Georgia (June 21-July 8) in seven of the eight qualifying matches.
Green-black is tenth after nineteen match days in the Jupiler Pro League, with 27 points. On Sunday evening, the team from Bruges will go to Sporting Charleroi on the twentieth match day.
