Playing career
Somers started his professional career with Lierse, where he played for five seasons, and was a regular in three of those seasons.[1] A midfielder, his strengths were in the passing game. During his time at Utrecht, he became renowned for his long throw-in.[2] After his stint at Lierse, Somers left for Turkey where he started playing for Trabzonspor. There too, he became an established starter in midfield. After three seasons with Trabzonspor, Somers moved to the Dutch Eredivisie in 2004 where he played for Utrecht.[3] One of his most memorable moments at the club came in the 2004 Johan Cruyff Shield against Ajax; his official debut for the club. Somers came on as a substitute when Utrecht were losing 2–1, and promptly scored twice to put them 3–2 up.[1] They went on to win 4–2.[4] In the regular season, however, he would score only twice in 27 appearances, something he would repeat in the following seasons.[5]
After leaving Utrecht, Somers became a player-assistant at Belgian lower-league club KSV Schriek in October 2011.[6]
Managerial career
Somers started his career as head coach of Hasselt.[7] He has since worked as a coach in the Genk youth academy.[8]
