He was a midfielder at Cercle Brugge who made his debut in the national team on 5 May 1921 with a 2-3 loss against Italy. He took part in the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, where he was captain for both matches, against Luxembourg (5-3 win) and Argentina (3-6 loss). He remained captain until his last match for the national team, Belgium-France on 25 May 1930, a few weeks before the national team left for Montevideo to the first World Cup, without him. He is still the Cercle player with the highest number of caps.
