Jan Malte Metzelder (born 19 May 1982 in Haltern, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German 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 "professionals", amassing only nine first division appearances, all in 2003–04, adding two minutes in a 2–1 UEFA Cup win at FK Austria Wien.

In 2005, Metzelder left Dortmund and joined VfR Aalen in the Regionalliga Süd (then third level). Two years later, he stayed in the category, being instrumental in FC Ingolstadt 04's promotion in his first season.

Personal

Metzelder's older brother, Christoph, is also a footballer (and a centre back), and both played for Borussia Dortmund, with his sibling also playing three years at Real Madrid and representing Germany on about 50 occasions, helping it finish second at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
