Jules Houttequiet (born 5 September 2002) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Belgian Division 2 club Rupel Boom.
Houttequiet started his youth career with Mechelen before moving to the academy of Anderlecht. He returned to Mechelen in 2020.[1]
On 8 August 2021, Houttequiet signed his first professional contract with Mechelen and was sent on loan to Dutch Eerste Divisie club Helmond Sport as part of the two clubs' partnership.[2] [3] He made his professional debut on 6 August 2021, the opening day of the 2021–22 Eerste Divisie season, where he was a starter at right wing, before being substituted off for Keyennu Lont in the second half of the 0–2 loss against FC Den Bosch at De Vliert.[4] On 29 April 2022, he scored his first goal, which proved to be the winner in a 1–0 league victory against Jong AZ.[5]
On 27 June 2022, Houttequiet's loan to Helmond Sport was extended for a second season.[6] However, shortly after, before the 2022–23 season began, Houttequiet returned to Mechelen by the mutual agreement of two clubs.[7]
After Houttequiet's loan with Helmond Sport was terminated, he was included in the Mechelen under-23 team, Jong Mechelen, competing for the first time in the fourth-tier Belgian Division 2 in the 2022–23 season.[8] He made his first appearance for the team on 3 September 2022, scoring a brace against Turnhout.[9]
In July 2023, Houttequiet signed with Belgian Division 2 club Rupel Boom.[10]
