The 34-year-old striker, who played in the past for Pescara, Wrexham and Murcia, shone for SKN Sint-Niklaas, scoring two crucial goals in a 4-3 derby victory for his side, with goals coming in the 82nd and 90th minutes.

Mathias has already served part of his sentence in pre-trial detention and now wears an electronic bracelet.

Younger brother Paul, meanwhile, is now working on his fitness ahead of returning to football after serving an 18-month doping ban.
