Club career

Baeten began his career at the youth academy of

RWDM47. He came on as a 79th minute substitute as NXT lost 2–0.[1]

Baeten scored his first professional goal on 13 September 2020 against Union Saint-Gilloise. His first-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

under-19 team.[10]

On 10 April 2022, Baeten agreen to join Beerschot on loan for the 2022–23 season, with an option to buy.[11] Following the loan, on 5 July 2023, Beerschot used their option to buy and made the transfer permanent, as Baeten signed a three-year contract with the club, with an option for the fourth year.[12]

However, on the next day, Baeten moved to Eredivisie club Go Ahead Eagles, signing a three-year contract.[13][14]
