Tom De Mul (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈtɔm də ˈmʏl]; born 4 March 1986) is a Belgian former professional footballer who played as a right winger.

Club career

Born in

NEC Nijmegen, but appeared only eight times in the Eredivisie
in his first two years combined.

After a solid

Vitesse Arnhem, De Mul returned to Amsterdam and figured prominently during his first full year, starting in 23 of the 28 matches he appeared in. In the subsequent off-season he signed with Spanish side Sevilla FC for five years,[1] but spent the vast majority of his first seasons barred by Jesús Navas,[2] a club youth product; however, on 16 November 2008, having only played five minutes at Getafe CF, he scored in a 2–0 La Liga away win.[3]

On 15 January 2009, De Mul agreed to be loaned to K.R.C. Genk, thus returning to his country. Seriously injured during the summer, he spent the entire 2009–10[4] and 2011–12 campaigns on the sidelines,[5] eventually leaving the Andalusians on 30 June 2012 after his contract expired.[6][7]

On 22 May 2014, almost two years after his contract with Sevilla expired, De Mul announced his retirement from football citing recurrent injuries.[8]

International career

In June 2007, De Mul earned his two

Stade Roi Baudouin in Brussels. He started four days later, in a 2–0 defeat in Finland
.

De Mul started in all six matches in the 2008 Summer Olympics, as the nation came fourth in China.
