Ghana striker Jerry Afriyie is rapidly emerging as a shining light in the Belgian Pro League, producing a series of eye-catching performances for RAAL La Louvière despite the club’s precarious position in the top flight during their debut season.
The highly rated 19-year-old, who joined the Wolves on loan from Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah, has wasted little time in making his presence felt.
Afriyie’s sharp movement, composure in front of goal and creative influence have injected renewed belief into a La Louvière side battling for survival after a run of inconsistent results that has left them 13th in the 16-team Jupiler Pro League.
Afriyie’s growing influence was underlined in a stunning 3-2 comeback victory away to Club Brugge KV, where he found the back of the net and delivered a man-of-the-match performance. That display not only highlighted his maturity beyond his years but also reinforced his determination to spearhead La Louvière’s fight away from the relegation zone and towards mid-table security.
The Ghana international has now scored three league goals, while also playing a key role in build-up play and chance creation, with his contributions proving decisive in critical moments.
His confidence continues to grow with every appearance, and his ability to rise to the occasion has quickly made him one of the club’s most important attacking outlets.
Afriyie is expected to once again play a central role when RAAL La Louvière host Sint-Truiden (STVV) on Saturday, January 24, 2026, in Matchday 22 of the Belgian top flight.
As the season enters a crucial phase, the young striker’s rediscovered scoring touch and all-round attacking quality could be the difference in La Louvière’s bid to escape the relegation battle and secure their place among Belgium’s elite.
