Career

Heylen joined Anderlecht in 2007 from Germinal Beerschot. As a 16-year-old he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. However, he made it to the reserve team and became its captain. In 2013, Anderlecht decided to loan Heylen out to Kortrijk for the 2013–14 season. He made his full debut at 14 September 2013 against Gent in a 3–0 home win.

In August 2016 he was asked to train with the senior Belgium squad by new manager Roberto Martinez.[2]
