In a move that was confirmed by local media last week, Minnesota United have officially added Madagascar international Romain Metanire.
It was a move that has been reported for some time and presumed completed, but the official announcement was slow in coming.
Metanire joins the side on a two-year deal from Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims, where he was a key component in getting them promoted from Ligue 2 last season, making 37 appearances at right back. With nearly 200 appearances under his belt, mainly in France’s Ligue 2, the 28-year-old brings a nice balance of experience but still with plenty of years left in the tank.
