## Early career and the Chelsea connection

Hazard was trained at Tubize and then at Lille, the club where his eldest brother Eden made his name<sup>[6](https://www.voetbalbelgie.be/artikel/kylian-hazard-vindt-nieuwe-club)</sup>. His senior path ran through WS Woluwe, Zulte Waregem, and Újpest before he joined Chelsea, where he was on the books without establishing himself in the first team<sup>[6](https://www.voetbalbelgie.be/artikel/kylian-hazard-vindt-nieuwe-club)</sup>. In 2017 he was signed by Chelsea from Újpest, and a season later he moved on loan to Cercle Brugge, the Bruges club that shares the Jan Breydel Stadium with Club Brugge<sup>[3](https://as.com/futbol/2019/12/10/champions/1576009066_207878.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[13](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-sign-another-hazard-edens-younger-brother-kylian-joins-development-squad-a3622351.html)</sup>.

At Cercle Brugge he became a regular. In the 2019-20 Jupiler Pro League season he started 16 of the club's first 19 matches, almost always as a left winger, and recorded two assists without scoring<sup>[3](https://as.com/futbol/2019/12/10/champions/1576009066_207878.html)</sup>. He also wore the captain's armband on four occasions that season<sup>[3](https://as.com/futbol/2019/12/10/champions/1576009066_207878.html)</sup>. Cercle bought him from Chelsea in 2019 on a contract running to 2023<sup>[3](https://as.com/futbol/2019/12/10/champions/1576009066_207878.html)</sup>.

## Later clubs and the Tubize revival

After Cercle Brugge came RWDM, and a loan to SK Beveren in which a knee injury limited him to three appearances; neither Beveren nor RWDM offered him a new contract, and he spent a period without a club<sup>[6](https://www.voetbalbelgie.be/artikel/kylian-hazard-vindt-nieuwe-club)</sup>. In October 2024 he signed for Royal Union Tubize-Braine in the third-tier First National division, a choice with family logic: his younger brother Ethan played there and his father Thierry sat on the club's board<sup>[6](https://www.voetbalbelgie.be/artikel/kylian-hazard-vindt-nieuwe-club)</sup>.

The Tubize-Braine spell was described by RFC Liège as a successful relaunch, and on 11 June 2025 the club announced his return to professional football on a two-season contract<sup>[5](https://fcliege.be/fr/mercato-hazard/)</sup>. Liège's sporting leadership, quoted through head coach Gaëtan Englebert, said the club would work to restore him to full physical and mental condition after his physical problems<sup>[5](https://fcliege.be/fr/mercato-hazard/)</sup>. Hazard himself said his goal was to string matches together and to transmit emotion to the supporters of Matricule 4, the club founded in 1892 that was Belgium's first champion<sup>[5](https://fcliege.be/fr/mercato-hazard/)</sup>.

## Playing style and recent form

Field Insider's scouting model lists him as a winger, 171 cm tall, and describes him as a fringe squad member in the 2025-26 season, on 27.1 percent of available minutes, with 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals and 0.23 assists)<sup>[1](https://fieldinsider.com/scout-report/kylian-hazard-8686)</sup>. The Pro League's official statistics for the same season credit him with 19 successful dribbles at a 35 percent success rate, 22 key passes, and 74 percent passing accuracy across 26 matches<sup>[4](https://www.proleague.be/fr/joueurs/kylian-hazard-23423)</sup>. FotMob and Sofascore list him as a right winger or attacking midfielder, and FBref records him as a midfielder-forward for RFC Liège<sup>[2](https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/players/466339)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.sofascore.com/football/player/kylian-hazard/379184)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://fbref.com/en/players/f331375e/Kylian-Hazard)</sup>.

In the 2026-27 season his involvement has been minimal: FotMob records 0 goals, 0 assists, and 1 minute played, with his most recent appearance a one-minute outing in a 1-2 home loss to Francs Borains on 17 August 2026<sup>[2](https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/players/466339)</sup>.

## The Hazard family

Kylian is the third son of Thierry and Carine Hazard<sup>[3](https://as.com/futbol/2019/12/10/champions/1576009066_207878.html)</sup>. Eden, the eldest, won league titles with Lille and Chelsea and the Champions League with Real Madrid before retiring in 2023<sup>[9](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67063281)</sup>; Thorgan played for [Borussia Dortmund](https://www.edgepedia.org/borussia-dortmund) and later [Anderlecht](https://www.edgepedia.org/anderlecht)<sup>[10](https://as.com/futbol/internacional/no-queria-cambiar-el-chelsea-por-el-bayern-solo-por-el-madrid-n/)</sup>; Ethan, the youngest, played at Tubize-Braine<sup>[6](https://www.voetbalbelgie.be/artikel/kylian-hazard-vindt-nieuwe-club)</sup>. Eden has said that with his brothers he made it together, noting that Kylian is also a professional in Belgium<sup>[11](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4450097/interview-with-eden-hazard-on-premier-league-hall-of-fame-induction)</sup>. Kylian has spoken of wanting to make a name for himself and exist in his own right rather than as "the brother of"<sup>[12](https://www.footmercato.net/a3056271066444475424-info-fm-kylian-hazard-je-veux-me-faire-un-nom-et-exister-par-moi-meme)</sup>.
