In 2011, Castagne moved to Genk, after Standard decided not to recruit him permanently.[6] In June 2013, he signed a professional contract for three years at Genk. In January 2014, then Genk coach Mario Been included him in training camp with the first team after leaving a good impression, which meant that he was definitively included in the first team in the second half of the season.[7] He made his Belgian Pro League debut under new head coach Alex McLeish on 14 September 2014 as a starter against Club Brugge.[8] On 2 May 2015, Castagne scored his first senior goal in a 7–1 home win.[9]
