Career & Clubs
Persoons made his first team debut with Eendracht Aalst. When the team went bankrupt, he signed for Aalst rivals FC Denderleeuw, who became FCV Dender after their merge with Verbroedering Denderhoutem. He became popular quite quickly, and was even nicknamed Biglia by his coach Jean-Pierre Vande Velde. Even though Dender became Belgian Second Division champions in 2007, Persoons chose to sign for KV Mechelen who were also playing in Second Division. As KV Mechelen won the playoffs a few weeks later, they promoted toger with Dender to the highest level of Belgian football. Persoons retired from his playing career at the end of the 2021–22 season.
On 5 June 2022, Club Brugge announced that Persoons had been appointed Head of Football for the club's youth setup, Club NXT.
