Clepkens started his professional career with Diegem and Racing Mechelen in the Belgian Third Division, before signing with Belgian Second Division team Waasland-Beveren in 2010. After gaining promotion, he was signed by Kortrijk in the fall of 2013 as a replacement goalkeeper.[1]
In Belgium, Clepkens is most known for two special feats, first he guided Racing Mechelen to the quarter finals of the 2008–09 Belgian Cup, after holding Zulte Waregem to a 0–0 draw during regular time, before making two saves during the penalty shootout and scoring the winning penalty kick himself. His second remarkable feat is scoring a last-minute header against Mons during the Belgian Second Division Final Rounds 2011–20#2011, denying the opponents their promotion to the Belgian Pro League.
