Career
editAt the age of fifteen, he joined the first team of KSK Beveren. Clubs like Manchester City, the Bolton Wanderers, and Udinese Calcio were interested in him but he choose to stay at the Freethiel. However, he has never been able to be a first choice keeper because of the presence of Boubacar Barry. He made his first team debut against Benfica in the UEFA Cup of 2004 after the red card of Copa but he could not avoid the 3–0 defeat and the following elimination.
In the 2005–06 season he played eight matches during an injury of Copa. He made some nice saves against teams like Club Brugge but was again relegated to second choice after Copa's recovery. In the 2006–07 season he came in a twist with Copa, and in the winter transfer period, he was bought by leader KRC Genk as second choice behind Logan Bailly.
Verhulst was a regular member of the Belgium U18 national team.
