Shkodran Metaj (born 5 February 1988 in Studenicë, Peć) is a Dutch footballer of Kosovan descent. He currently plays for Dutch Eerste Divisie club FC Emmen on loan from Eredivisie club FC Groningen.
Metaj was born in Studenicë Peja, SAP Kosovo. He started to play football with amateur club VV Froombosch, before being scouted by Dutch top flight club FC Groningen, who then signed him and entered him into their youth system.
Metaj also represented occasionally the Netherlands as several youth levels, including Netherlands U16, Netherlands U17 and Netherlands U21. Just before the 2007–08 Eredivisie season started, he was asked to join FC Groningen's senior squad. On September 2, 2007, Metaj made his professional debut in an away game against AFC Ajax, and later signed a contract due to expire in 2012.[1]
Metaj will spend the 2009–10 season on loan to newly-promoted Eredivisie side RKC Waalwijk, with the aim for the youngster to make more first team experience.
