Davino Verhulst
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davino Verhulst (born November 25, 1987) is a Belgian football (soccer) goalkeeper, who currently plays for KRC Genk in the Belgian Jupiler League.
At the age of fifteen he joined the first team of KSK Beveren. Clubs like Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers were interested in him but he choose to stay at the Freethiel. However, he has never been able to be a first choice keeper because of the presence of Barry Boubacar Copa. He made his first team debut against Benfica in the UEFA Cup of 2004 after the red card of Copa but he couldn't avoid the 3-0 defeat and the following elimination.
In the 2005-2006 season he played 8 matches during an injury of Copa. He made some nice saves against teams like Club Brugge but was again relegated to second choice after the recovery of Copa. In the 2006-2007 season he came in a twist with Copa and in the winter transfer periode he was bought by leader KRC Genk as second choice behind Logan Bailly.
Verhulst is a regular member of the Belgian U-19 National football Team
