Simon Mignolet, born on 6 March 1988 (age 38), is a Belgian goalkeeper now with Club Brugge. An imposing 6ft 4in (1.93m), he has spent his career in a position where size helps, though only if the hands and decision-making come with it.
His senior career began at Sint-Truiden, where the 2006-07 season brought two league appearances. It was a quiet start, but a young goalkeeper’s first steps usually are. He later moved through a career that took him well beyond Belgium before returning to the Belgian game with Club Brugge.
At Club Brugge, Mignolet remains an experienced first-team goalkeeper rather than a developing prospect. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Mignolet’s career has been built on longevity, experience and a return to a prominent role in Belgium. For a goalkeeper of his age, that is a tidy enough summary.
