Kylian Hazard (French pronunciation: [kiljan azaʁ]; born 5 August 1995) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for RWDM on loan from Cercle Brugge. He has two older brothers, Eden and Thorgan, and one younger, Ethan, all of whom are footballers.

Early life

Hazard was born in La Louvière and grew up in Braine-le-Comte. His mother, Carine, and father, Thierry, were both footballers playing in Belgium. His father spent most of his career playing as a semi-professional for La Louvière in the Belgian Second Division.[2] He played mainly as a defensive midfielder.[2] His mother played as a striker in the Belgian Women's First Division and stopped playing when she was three months pregnant with her eldest son Eden Hazard.[2][3] After playing football, both parents became sports teachers.[2] Thierry retired from his position in 2009 in order to devote more time to his children.[2]

Kylian is the third of four children. His eldest brother, Eden, previously played for Lille in France, Chelsea in England and now plays for Real Madrid in La Liga. His other elder brother, Thorgan, joined Eden at Chelsea in 2012 before moving to Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2015. Thorgan moved to Dortmund in May 2019 (summer transfer window) and had previously progressed through the youth ranks of Lille's biggest rivals Lens.[4][5][6][7] His younger brother Ethan currently plays in the youth academy of Tubize, where Eden, Thorgan and Kylian all played earlier in their lives.[2][5][8][9]

Kylian and his three brothers were raised in a comfortable environment with their parents ensuring they had whatever they needed to excel.[10] The family lived "no more than three meters" from a football training ground and the brothers often ventured onto a training pitch through a small hole in order to hone and develop their skills.[3]

Hazard began his professional career at White Star Bruxelles, joining the club in 2013 from the Lille academy where he spent two years.[2][5][8][9]

Club career

After spending one season in the Belgian Second Division, it was announced on 25 June 2014 that Hazard joined Pro League side Zulte Waregem on a two-year contract, with an option to extend the contract for another season.[11][12] In signing for Zulte Waregem, Hazard followed in the footsteps of his older brother Thorgan, who spent two seasons there on loan from Chelsea,[13][14][15] and linked up with Jonathan Benteke, whose brother Christian is also a Belgian international.[16]

Hazard made his professional debut for Zulte Waregem on 7 August 2014, replacing Ibrahima Conté after 69 minutes against Belarusian side Shakhtyor Soligorsk in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. He could not help prevent his team from crashing out in the tournament after a 2–2 draw and a 7–4 loss on aggregate.[17]

Hazard made his first start for Zulte Waregem on 21 January 2015 against R.S.C. Anderlecht in second leg of the Belgian Cup; the match ended in a 4-2 loss.[18] He played only 5 games for Zulte Waregem.

On 27 June 2015, Hazard signed a three-year contract with Hungarian side Újpest.[19] Hazard made his debut on 18 July 2015 against Paksi FC which ended in a 0–0 draw.[20] On 21 November 2015, Hazard scored his first goal in a 2–1 away victory over Honvéd.[21]

On 29 August 2017, Hazard joined Premier League side Chelsea, and was put in the club's development squad.[22] Despite reports suggesting Hazard had left Chelsea after a year, he agreed a new two-year deal and was sent out on loan to Cercle Brugge on a season-long loan.[23]

On 5 May 2019,[24] it was announced that Hazard's spell at Cercle Brugge would be made permanent as of 1 July 2019.[25] In January 2021, he was demoted to the reserves for disciplinary reasons.[26]

On 31 January 2022, Hazard was loaned to RWDM until the end of the season, with an option to buy.[27] He made his competitive debut for the club on 13 February, coming on as a substitute for Thomas Ephestion in the 79th minute of a 1–0 Belgian First Division B win over Deinze.[28][29]
