Francs Borains have completed the signing of teenage centre-forward Hossni Soye Ndime from STVV Youth, securing the 18-year-old on a permanent deal that begins on 2026-02-02. The move keeps him under contract with the Challenger Pro League side until 2026-02-02, confirming his first senior switch away from the Sint-Truiden youth setup.
The transfer, recorded as a standard deal with an undisclosed fee, brings the Belgian-DR Congo dual national into a fully professional environment after several years in academy football. While the official documentation lists the fee simply as “?”, the transaction is fully concluded, with no indication of a loan or short-term arrangement. No market value is currently registered for Ndime, underlining how early he is in his professional development.
Ndime arrives at Francs Borains as an out-and-out centre-forward, classified in his main position as an attacking spearhead through the middle and operating predominantly with his right foot. The move takes him from STVV’s youth ranks, who compete in the Belgian 2de Nationale VV B structure, into the higher-profile Challenger Pro League, elevating the level of opposition he will face and the visibility of his performances.
Born on 24 August 2007, Ndime has already experienced a varied youth pathway across Belgium. He started out at KAS Eupen Youth, from where he moved to VV St. Truiden Youth ahead of the 2019–20 season. He then progressed inside the Sint-Truiden structure, stepping up to VV St. Truiden U18 in early 2023, before being recorded back with STVV Youth from mid-2024. The transfer to Francs Borains marks his first move away from the Sint-Truiden system since 2019.
His club change also has implications for international identity. Listed with both Belgium and DR Congo nationality, Ndime is eligible for either country at senior level. The shift to Francs Borains, a Challenger Pro League outfit, positions him within a competitive Belgian second tier that is increasingly scouted by clubs and federations alike, potentially influencing his long-term national-team prospects. For now, he remains uncapped at senior level, and there is no registered national-team activity beyond his club status.
No official match statistics, recent appearances, goals or assists are provided in the available data, and there are no specific fixtures recorded that detail his performances, opponents or scorelines. Likewise, there is no indication yet of how he will be integrated into the Francs Borains squad in tactical terms, whether as an immediate first-team option or as a developmental project for the future.
The transfer record does not specify whether Ndime left STVV Youth on a free transfer or for a fee, only confirming the switch as a standard move with no disclosed amount. Equally, there is no sign in the current information of him becoming a free agent at any stage around the move; the data shows a direct, completed transition from STVV Youth to Francs Borains, framed by the contract start and end on 2026-02-02.
Given his age, positional profile and dual nationality, this confirmed move to Francs Borains represents a crucial step in Ndime’s career trajectory. If he adapts quickly to the demands of the Challenger Pro League and converts his youth promise into senior productivity, the contract running through 2026-02-02 could become the platform from which he builds both his professional reputation in Belgium and his long-term international prospects.
