Kylian Hazard (French pronunciation: ​[kilˈjan azaʁ]; born 5 August 1995) is a Belgian footballer who plays for Újpest in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I as an attacking midfielder.

Early life

Hazard was born in La Louvière and grew up in Braine-le-Comte. His mother, Carine, and father, Thierry, were both footballers playing in Belgium. His father spent most of his career playing as a semi-professional with La Louvière in the Belgian Second Division.[1] He played mainly as a defensive midfielder.[1] His mother played as a striker in the Belgian Women's First Division and stopped playing when she was three months pregnant with her eldest son Eden.[1][2] After playing football, both parents became sports teachers.[1] Thierry retired from his position in 2009 in order to devote more time to his children.[1]

Hazard is the third of four children. His eldest brother Eden previously played for Lille and now plays for Chelsea in the Premier League. His other elder brother, Thorgan, joined Eden at Chelsea in 2012, before moving to Borussia Mönchengladbach in January 2015, and had previously progressed through the youth ranks of Lille's biggest rivals Lens.[3][4][5][6] His younger brother Ethan currently plays in the youth academy of Tubize, where Eden, Thorgan and Kylian all played earlier in their lives.[1][4][7][8]

Hazard and his three brothers were raised in a comfortable environment with their parents ensuring they had whatever they needed to excel.[9] The family lived "no more than three meters" from a football training ground and the brothers often ventured onto a training pitch through a small hole in order to hone and develop their skills.[2]

Club career

Hazard began his professional career at White Star Bruxelles, joining the club in 2013 from the Lille academy.[1][4][7][8] After spending one season in the Belgian Second Division, it was announced on 25 June 2014 that Hazard joined Pro League side Zulte Waregem on a two-year contract, with an option to extend the contract for another season.[10][11] In signing for Zulte Waregem, Hazard followed in the footsteps of his older brother Thorgan, who spent two seasons there on loan from Chelsea,[12][13][14] and linked up with Jonathan Benteke, whose brother Christian is also a Belgian international.[15]

Zulte Waregem

Hazard made his professional debut for Zulte Waregem on 7 August 2014, replacing Ibrahima Conté after 69 minutes against Belarusian side Shakhtsyor Salihorsk in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. He could not help prevent his team from crashing out in the tournament after a 2–2 draw and a 7–4 loss on aggregate.[16]

Hazard made his first start for Zulte Waregem on 21 January 2015 against R.S.C. Anderlecht in second leg of the Belgian Cup; the match ended in a 4-2 loss.[17]

Újpest

On 27 June 2015, Hazard signed a three-year contract with Hungarian side Újpest.[18]
