Article body
Roda JC have profited from KV Mechelen's parlous financial position by signing two of the Belgian club's talented youngsters.
Defensive cover
The 19-year-old defender Ken Leemens has committed himself to Roda until summer 2005, while goalkeeper Kevin Begois, 20, has agreed a one-a-half-year term.
Free signings
Both were free signings as neither player has been paid for four months by Mechelen, who were placed into liquidation last month with debts in excess of €2.5m.
