Thomas Buffel Leads Cercle Brugge to Victory

The 27-year-old attacking midfielder scored Cercle Brugge's first goal in today's 2-1 victory over KV Mechelen. He has returned to Belgium, his native country, after playing in Holland and Scotland. From 2002-2005, he was a member of Feyenoord scoring 34 goals in 90 league matches.

He then moved to Scotland and competed at the Ibrox for Rangers. Early on, he was a key member of the team helping the club reach the final 16 of the 2005-06 UEFA Champions League. Injuries were the main culprit for his fall from Ranger's starting eleven; in the summer of 2008, he moved to Cercle Brugge.
