Born on June 28, 1991, in Drongen, Belgium, De Bruyne began his football journey at a young age and quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the most prominent figures in the sport.
De Bruyne's professional career took off when he joined the youth academy of Belgian club K.R.C. Genk.

FC Winterslag was established in 1923, acquiring the matricule number 322. Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the club appended the Royal designation, becoming KFC Winterslag. In the 1972–73 season, Winterslag ascended to the second division and subsequently clinched a spot in the 1974–75 Belgian First Division by securing second place in the final round of the second division, benefiting from the expansion of first division clubs from 16 to 20. Although finishing the season at the bottom, they promptly reclaimed their position in the first division by winning the second division title.
In 1981, KFC Winterslag achieved a notable 5th place finish, granting them entry into UEFA Cup matches. They triumphed over Bryne FK from Norway but were eliminated in the subsequent round by Dundee United from Scotland. However, two seasons later, they faced relegation to the second tier after a disappointing campaign that saw them finish at the bottom. Notably, Standard Liège secured a championship amidst allegations of bribery in a match against Winterschei Thor, which later merged with matricule number 322.
Following a four-season stint in the second division, Winterslag regained their position in the first division by emerging victorious in the 1987 final round, finishing one point ahead of Tongeren. Despite a 15th place finish in an 18-team league, the club merged with neighboring club Waterschei Thor, which had been playing in the second division since their relegation in 1986.
