Lapeire started playing football at the age of 10, with his local team KFC Izegem. At age 25, he moved to Cercle Brugge, where he would stay five seasons. He made his green and black debut against SK Roeselare, a 3–0 home win with Lapeire scoring twice. In his first season with Cercle, he became second division champions and even top scorer of the team, despite being a midfielder. He would repeat this in the 1972-73 season.
Lapeire left Cercle Brugge after the 1974-75 season, and never returned at the highest level. His last teams were SC Menen, Eendracht Wervik and Club Roeselare.
