Somers started his professional career with
Lierse, where he played for five seasons, and was a regular in three of those seasons. After his stint at Lierse, Somers left for Turkey where he started playing for
Trabzonspor. There too, he became an established starter in midfield. After three seasons with Trabzonspor, Somers moved to the Dutch
Eredivisie in 2004 where he played for Utrecht. One of his most memorable moments at the club came in the
2004 Johan Cruyff Shield against Ajax; his official debut for the club. Somers came on as a substitute when Utrecht were losing 2–1, and promptly scored twice to put them 3–2 up. ==Managerial career==
