Bjorn Meijer

Bjorn Meijer of Club Brugge was born on 18 March 2003 (age 23).

Bjorn Meijer (born 18 March 2003, age 23) is a Dutch left-back whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Club Brugge. He wears the number 14 shirt and is valued at around £5m by Transfermarkt.

His first full league season at Brugge remains his most productive in front of goal: three goals in 30 league appearances in 2022-23. Across four seasons with the club, he has made 76 league appearances and scored five times, which gives a fair sense of his role – involved, trusted, and used regularly rather than merely passing through.

In 2025-26, Meijer has continued to matter to the Brugge first team. He has made 21 league appearances, scoring once, and 49 appearances in all competitions, including Champions League and qualifying matches. That is not background-player territory.

Meijer is still a developing player, but his career already has a clear centre of gravity at Club Brugge. For now, he remains a regular left-back in a side where his place has been earned over several seasons.

Bjorn Meijer made 21 Pro League appearances for Club Brugge in 2025-26, with eight starts and 13 outings from the bench. One goal and one yellow card point to a low-event league profile, while the start/sub split suggests a rotation left back rather than a settled first-choice role. His seven Champions League appearances and three in qualifying still show he was trusted beyond domestic league minutes.

Meijer’s career path has been compact and upward. He came through at FC Groningen before moving to Club Brugge in 2022, giving him a clear step from Eredivisie development football into a club with regular European exposure. At 23, the profile is still more about progression than decline, although his 2025-26 league usage suggested he was not an automatic starter.

The transfer record is straightforward: a trainee move into FC Groningen in 2017, then a €5.4m fee to Club Brugge in July 2022. That fee reflected a move up in level and expectation, from a Dutch development environment to a Belgian club competing in the Champions League. His current €6.00m valuation sits slightly above that purchase price, indicating retained market strength rather than a major spike.
