Career

Swerts was born in Brasschaat, Belgium and made his debut in professional football as part of the Excelsior squad in the 2001–02 season.[1] He also played for Feyenoord, ADO Den Haag, Vitesse and AZ before returning to Feyenoord in January 2011.[2] He was part of the AZ team winning the 2008–09 Eredivisie. After that, he played for SønderjyskE in Denmark, NAC Breda, and Notts County in England.[3]

In early 2016, his contract with Notts County was terminated by mutual consent due to a lack of playing time.[4] In October 2016, Swerts joined RFC Seraing in the third-tier Belgian National Division 1.[5] In January 2018, Swerts moved to KFC Lille in the sixth-tier Eerste Provinciale Antwerpen.[6]

In June 2019, Swerts announced his retirement from football, and would instead focus on coaching youth players at Royal Antwerp.[7]
