Senegal midfielder Guirane N'Daw joins Metz

Senegal international midfielder Guirane N'Daw has signed a two-year deal with French Ligue 1 side Metz.

N'Daw, who has has played 44 times for his country, started his career in France with Sochaux in 2002.

He has also had spells with Nantes, Saint-Etienne, Real Zaragoza and English clubs Birmingham and Ipswich.

Met are back in the top tier of French football for the first time since 2007 and it marks a fantastic comeback for the club who fell as low as the third tier in 2012.

They turned their fortunes around with back-to-back promotions in the last two years.
