Lommel SK announces departure of four promotion heroes
Lommel SK confirmed that four players who helped the Limburg side secure promotion to the Jupiler Pro League will leave the club as their contracts end or they return to parent clubs. The departures include Filip Stevanovic, Lautaro López, Robin van Duiven and Dominion Ohaka.
Lommel SK earned promotion to the Jupiler Pro League by first winning the Promotion Play‑offs and then succeeding in the barrage matches against FCV Dender. The club now prepares its return to the top tier with ambitious plans.
The four departing players are Filip Stevanovic, Lautaro López, Robin van Duiven and Dominion Ohaka. Robin van Duiven, who arrived on loan from PSV, will be immediately loaned to Real Valladolid, while Lautaro López and Dominion Ohaka also return to their parent clubs after their loan spells.
Filip Stevanovic’s contract is set to expire shortly and Lommel SK has decided not to extend it. The decision was communicated by the club alongside the announcement of the other departures.
Sportief Directeur Jeffrey van As said, “Namens de hele club wil ik Robin, Dominion, Filip en Lautaro bedanken voor hun inzet en professionaliteit.” He added, “Iedere speler heeft op zijn eigen manier een belangrijke bijdrage geleverd aan de promotie naar de Jupiler Pro League. Dat is een prestatie die voor altijd een bijzondere plaats zal innemen in de geschiedenis van Lommel SK.”
Three additional players – Jesper Tolinsson, Rubin Seigers and Joey Pelupessy – also see their contracts run out, but no decision has been taken yet. Van As explained, “Daarnaast voeren we momenteel nog positieve gesprekken met Jesper, Rubin en Joey.” He added, “Zodra daar een definitieve uitkomst over is, zullen we die uiteraard communiceren.”
Lommel SK’s sporting director emphasized that the club will continue to shape the squad ahead of the new season, thanking the departing players for their role in the historic promotion. The club aims to build a competitive roster for its return to the Jupiler Pro League.
