Wout Coomans (born 9 December 2001) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Eerste Divisie club MVV.
Coomans began playing for Penarol Engsbergen in Tessenderlo.[2] At the age of seven, he tried out for Genk but chose to join Sint-Truiden.[2] However, after three seasons there, he eventually moved to Genk in 2011.[2][3] His initial contract with Genk was signed in January 2019.[3] Despite grappling with injuries in the prior seasons, he secured a contract extension in March 2021, with an option for an additional year.[4]
In November 2021, he participated in a friendly game against Oud-Heverlee Leuven, sharing the pitch with players like Mike Trésor, Joseph Paintsil, and Théo Bongonda.[5] His next move came in January 2022 when Genk loaned him to Thes for the rest of the season due to Sam Vanaken's long-term injury.[2] Following the loan, Thes secured Coomans on a permanent basis from Genk.[6] Throughout his debut full season at Thes, he contributed in 32 out of 38 league matches. Prior to the conclusion of the 2022–23 season, Coomans announced his departure from Thes.[7]
In June 2023, he sealed a transfer to Dutch Eerste Divisie club MVV, signing a two-year deal with an optional third season.[8] His official debut for MVV occurred on 13 August 2023, securing a starting spot in a 3–1 victory against VVV-Venlo under the management of Maurice Verberne.[9][10]
