Thibo Baeten (born 4 June 2002) is an Belgian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Torino Primavera, the under-19 team of Serie A club Torino, on loan from NEC.

Club career[]

Baeten began his career at the youth academy of Club Brugge. On 22 August 2020, Baeten made his debut for Brugge's reserve side, Club NXT in the Belgian First Division B against RWDM47. He came on as a 79th minute substitute as NXT lost 0–2.[1]

Baeten scored his first professional goal on 13 September 2020 against Union Saint-Gilloise. His 1st minute goal gave NXT the lead but the match soon ended 1–1.[2]

In the winter of 2021, Baeten expressed his wish to leave Club Brugge, where he had an expiring contract.[3] That winter, Baeten could count on interest from Cercle Brugge and from Italy.[4][5] On 22 January 2021, he signed a contract with Dutch Eerste Divisie club NEC until mid-2024.[6] On 5 March 2021, Baeten scored his first goal for NEC in the 7–0 win over Helmond Sport.[7][8]

On 23 May 2021, Baeten won promotion to the Eredivisie with NEC by beating NAC Breda 2–1 in the final of the play-offs. Unlike his compatriots Jonathan Okita and Mathias De Wolf, Baeten did not appear in any of the three promotion matches.

On 3 August 2021, he joined Serie A side Torino on loan with an option to buy.[9] He would join the club's under-19 team.[10]
