Dion became our first signing of the summer when he arrived in June 2025.

The 24-year-old winger arrives from Belgian club KV Kortrijk and has signed a three-year deal at Ewood Park through to June 2028, with a 12-month option.

A Belgium youth international, De Neve started his career at Zulte Waregem, making his senior debut in the Belgian Pro League against OH Leuven in July 2021.

After an eye-catching breakthrough season in first team football, in which he made 17 appearances, De Neve joined KV Kortrijk ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

Over the past three seasons, De Neve has established himself as one of the most consistent performers in the Belgian top flight, making 82 appearances for KV Kortrijk across all competitions.

A predominantly left-sided player, with the flexibility to operate anywhere down the flank as well as in more advanced attacking areas, De Neve adds pace, athleticism, energy and versatility to the Rovers ranks.
