Career

Daerden was born in Tongeren. Before he signed a one-year contract with Club Brugge in June 2006, he was captain of his former club, K.R.C. Genk. It was rumoured that Brugge had paid a transfer fee of €4,000,000 for the left winger. On 15 January 2010, Standard Liege signed the midfielder from Club Brugge until June 2013.[4] However, after a loan spell at Sint-Truiden, he was released in the summer of 2013 due to a lack of play time. After being on trial with Dutch side Willem II in the summer of 2013, Daerden eventually signed with Dutch Eerste Divisie side MVV Maastricht. On the last day of 2013, Daerden decided to retire from professional football as a result of sustained injuries.

International career

Daerden also played 10 times for the Belgian national team.[5]
