Early life
Club career
Club Brugge
Lammens came through the youth systems of KRC Bambrugge, Dender and Club Brugge.[5] On 3 October 2018, he was included in the first-team matchday squad for the UEFA Champions League group match away against Atlético Madrid at the age of 16.[6]
On 11 December 2019, Lammens scored a stoppage-time headed equaliser to make it 2–2 for Club Brugge's under-19 against Real Madrid's under-19 in the UEFA Youth League group stage. The result secured Brugge's progress to the knockout phase.[7] He played for Club NXT, Club Brugge's U23 club in the First Division B during the 2020–21 season, the team's debut campaign at that level.[8]
With first choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet injured, Lammens started for the senior club in the Belgian Super Cup on 17 July 2021, a 3–2 victory against Genk.[9][10] He restarted in the opening matchday of the Pro League season on 25 July against Eupen before appearing in a 3–0 Croky Cup victory against Deinze on 27 October.[8][11] On 22 May 2022, Lammens came on as a second half substitute for Mignolet in the final match of the champions' play-offs against Anderlecht.[12]
Antwerp
On 8 June 2023, Lammens left Club Brugge once his contract ended and signed a four-year one with Antwerp, then-reigning Belgian champions.[13] He made his senior Antwerp debut on 1 November 2023, starting in a 4–1 away victory at the Belgian Cup against Lierse. Coach Mark van Bommel had previously indicated that Lammens would be considered for the tie.[14][15][16]
During the 2023–24 season, Lammens primarily served as understudy to Jean Butez – featuring again in the domestic cup – including a December draw against Lierse.[17] By the start of the 2024–25 season, he had established himself as Antwerp's first choice goalkeeper ahead of Butez, a change noted widely in Belgian coverage.[18][19][20]
Lammens' performances in 2024–25 drew particular notice for shot-stopping and penalty saves; by mid-February he had saved four penalties in all competitions.[21] He was also a regular winner of Antwerp's fan-voted Player of the Month award during the season, including November 2024 and March 2025.[22][23][24]
Manchester United
On 1 September 2025, Manchester United signed Lammens in a deadline day move from Royal Antwerp for a reported transfer fee of £18.1m.[25][26] He made his debut on 4 October and kept the first clean sheet of the season for Manchester United against newly-promoted Sunderland in a 2–0 home victory.[27] In his debut season with Manchester United, Lammens was named the 2025–26 Premier League Transfer of the Season, an award recognising the player judged to have made the biggest impact for his new club in the season.[28]
International career
In March 2025, Lammens received his first call-up to the Belgian senior team for the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League play-off matches against Ukraine on 20 and 23 March 2025, respectively.[29][30][31] On 18 November, he made his senior debut for Belgium, keeping a clean sheet in a 7–0 World Cup qualifying victory against Liechtenstein.[32] On 15 May 2026, Lammens was named in the Belgian squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[33] Lammens made his World Cup debut on 10 July, replacing Thibaut Courtois against Spain in the quarterfinals. He spilled a long-range shot from Paul Cubarsi late on, allowing Mikel Merino to score the winner as Belgium lost 2–1 and were eliminated.[34]
