Maxime Colin

Maxime Jean-Yves Colin (born 15 November 1991) is a French professional footballer who plays as a full back for Ligue 2 club Metz.

[8] Colin was an undisputed first choice during 2013–14, making 42 appearances as Troyes finished in mid-table and went out of the Coupe de la Ligue at the semi-final stage.

[8] Colin made his debut in European football on 19 February 2015 in a goalless draw with Dynamo Moscow in the Europa League round of 32, and played in six of Anderlecht's seven matches in the 2014–15 Belgian Cup; he started in the final, which they lost 2–1 to Club Brugge.

[12][13] He made his debut as a 58th-minute substitute for Akaki Gogia in a 1–0 defeat to Burnley nine days later,[14] and started the next three matches,[15] but a knee ligament injury suffered in training in mid-September ruled him out for three months.

[20] Colin's season came to an end on 22 April 2017, his 40th appearance, when injury forced his substitution after 71 minutes of a 3–1 victory over West London rivals Queens Park Rangers.

[20] He began the 2017–18 season behind new signing Henrik Dalsgaard in the right back pecking order and instead deputised for the injured Rico Henry in an unfamiliar left-back position.

[21] Colin signed a four-year contract with another Championship club, Birmingham City, on 31 August 2017, becoming the third Brentford player, after Jota and Harlee Dean, to make the same move; the fee was undisclosed.

He then lashed a low shot which went through [the goalkeeper] for Blues' first goal in more than six hours of football" to open the scoring against Preston North End, who went on to win 3–1.

He was undisputed first choice at right back, spent some time on the left when Kristian Pedersen was injured, and missed three games in March with a hamstring injury: Birmingham lost all three and failed to score.
