Lorenzo Lai (born 2 June 1985) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian First Provincial club Beloeil.

Career

Starting his career with Mouscron, Lai made his professional debut on 21 December 2002, coming on as a substitute in the 60th minute for Paul Alo'o in the 3–1 home win in the Belgian Pro League against Mechelen.[2] In 2005, he moved to hometown club Mons where he made 10 appearances in his sole season at the club.[3] Three seasons with La Louvière followed,[4] before Lai signed with Boussu Dour Borinage in 2009, the club that would later become Francs Borains.[3] He made more than 70 appearances for the club the next three seasons in the second and third tiers.[1]

Between 2012 and 2014, Lai played in the lower tiers of Belgian football for Thulin,[5] before returning to Francs Borains in 2014, who had just undergone a merger.[6] He helped the club from the Belgian Fourth Division to the Belgian First Amateur Division during his spell at the club, and captained the side.[5][7]

In May 2022, Lai left Francs Borains after eight years to join Belgian First Provincial club Beloeil.[8][9]
