Club career

RC Genk

Vossen was part of a last minute transfer deal in the late evening of 31 August 2009. Cercle Brugge and RC Genk came to an agreement in which Vossen was loaned to Cercle Brugge and his team mate Hans Cornelis joined Brugge in a permanent move. Thomas Buffel went in the opposite direction. In the summer of 2010, he rejoined Genk.

On 1 September 2014, it was announced that Vossen had joined English Championship club Middlesbrough on a season long loan from Genk with a view to a permanent £3million transfer at the end of the season.[1]

Burnley

On 6 July 2015 it was confirmed that Burnley had signed Vossen on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. [2][3] On 8 August 2015, on the opening day of the English Championship 2015/16 season, Vossen made his debut for Burnley F.C. against Leeds United in a 1-1 draw.[4]

Club Brugge

On 30 August 2015, despite spending less than two months under contract at Burnley, Vossen signed a five-year contract at Club Brugge. On 23 September 2016, Vossen scored his 100th goal in the Belgian Pro League.[5]
