Romain M�tanire is a French professional footballer who currently plays as a right-sided defender for Ligue 2 side Metz. M�tanire was born in Metz, but has origins in R�union. He started his career in the reserve team at Metz and made his debut in the Championnat de France amateur on 11 October 2008, coming on as a substitute in the 1?1 draw away at Colmar. He made three further substitute appearances in the 2008?09 season as the reserve side was relegated to the CFA 2. M�tanire made his first start for Metz B in the 5?2 home win over Pontarlier on 15 August 2009. He went on to play 19 matches during the campaign, becoming a regular fixture in the team that gained promotion back to the CFA as winners of their group. He also scored the first goal of his career in the 2?1 victory away at Troyes B on 21 March 2010. As a result of his performances in the reserve team, M�tanire was selected on the substitutes' bench for the match away at Clermont Foot on 29 October 2010. He entered play in the 89th minute, replacing Belgian midfielder Ga�tan Englebert. M�tanire again appeared as a late substitute the following week in the home defeat to Le Mans, before returning to the B team.
