Nicolas Marin (born 29 August 1980) is a French footballer who plays for Swiss Super League club Lausanne-Sport as a midfielder, having previously played for Auxerre, Saint-Étienne, Sedan, Lorient, Plymouth Argyle, Bastia and Sion.
He began his career with AJ Auxerre before establishing himself as a first-team regular at AS Saint-Étienne and then CS Sedan. Marin joined FC Lorient in 2007, but following a fallout with their manager Christian Gourcuff, Marin agreed to join English club Plymouth Argyle on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent move. But the loan was terminated through mutual consent at the beginning of January 2009. Marin is easily recognizable due to his bleached hair. After returning to Lorient, the club proceeded to terminate his contract. Later that day, Corsica-based side SC Bastia announced that they had signed him until the end of the season.[1] On 11 August 2009, Marin joined FC Sion on free transfer.[2] In July 2011, he signed a one-year contract with fellow Swiss club Lausanne-Sport.[3]
