Franck Eddy Signorino (born 19 September 1981 in Nogent-sur-Marne, Val-de-Marne) is a French footballer who plays Stade Lavallois in Ligue 2, as a left defender.

Football career

Signorino made his professional debuts with FC Metz, helping it return to the top level in his second year. After a final season where he paired up with Franck Ribéry, he moved to FC Nantes Atlantique.

In 2007, following Nantes' relegation from the first division, a host of clubs, including Deportivo de La Coruña, Getafe CF, UD Almería, Birmingham City and Newcastle United expressed an interest in the player. Eventually, Signorino signed for Getafe on 30 July 2007,[1] making his club debut against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Cup group stage, following a period of injury. His La Liga debut came on 16 December, playing 67 minutes off the bench in a 1–3 home defeat to Villarreal CF.[2]

Signorino spent the entire 2008–09 in the sidelines, nursing a serious tibia injury.[3] In January 2010, after being demoted to third-string left-back, he signed with second division side FC Cartagena, on loan. In the very last minutes of the following summer transfer window, he was cut by Getafe and, subsequently, signed for S. du Pays de Charleroi on a one-year contract, appearing regularly for the Belgian team but suffering top flight relegation.

On 5 September 2011, Signorino signed a one-year contract with Stade Lavallois, returning to his country after four years.[4]
