Lommel has acquired Nicolas Rommens from Zulte Waregem as part of their strategy to bring in more experienced Belgian players. The club is focusing on this approach under the guidance of their new technical director, Jeffrey van As. Van As has expressed that he aims to reduce the club's reliance on young foreign talents from the City Football Group, and instead, target seasoned Belgian players to strengthen their squad. The acquisition of Rommens is the first step, with Lommel planning to add two more Belgian players who are familiar with the 1B league. This strategic shift follows a challenging year for Lommel, during which they narrowly missed promotion to the Jupiler Pro League and struggled to maintain their position in 1B.
