Jan Malte Metzelder (born 19 May 1982 in Haltern, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German professional footballer who plays for FC Ingolstadt 04 in the German second division,[1] as a central defender.
Football career
Metzelder made his professional debuts with SC Preußen Münster in 2001, and two years later moved to Borussia Dortmund to play alongside his older brother Christoph. However, he appeared very rarely for the first team, amassing only nine Bundesliga appearances – all in 2003–04 – and adding two minutes in a 2–1 away win against FK Austria Wien for the UEFA Cup.
In 2005, Metzelder left Dortmund and joined VfR Aalen in the Regionalliga Süd (then third division). Two years later he stayed in the category, being instrumental in FC Ingolstadt 04's promotion to the second level in his first season.
Personal
Metzelder's older brother Christoph was also a professional footballer.
