Christian Burgess agrees terms with KAA Gent from Union SG

Christian Burgess (34) has reached an agreement with KAA Gent after leaving Union Saint-Gilloise. A medical remains the only hurdle before finalizing the move. The former Union SG captain and club icon will join KAA Gent following talks with the Belgian side. Belgian outlets report the deal is now in place pending medical clearance. Union Saint-Gilloise confirmed Burgess’s departure after his tenure as a key figure at the club. His leadership and presence on the pitch defined his time with Union SG. Burgess, who turns 35 in October, had been a long-standing figure at Union SG before his exit. The 34-year-old defender’s move marks a shift to one of Union SG’s top rivals in Belgian football. KAA Gent will finalize the transfer once Burgess completes a medical examination. No further details on contract length or financial terms were disclosed.
