Career

Metgod made his debut in Dutch professional football on 13 April 1980 for HFC Haarlem in a competition game against Roda JC losing 2–1. He spent 11 years at Haarlem before finishing his playing career with seven seasons at Sparta Rotterdam.^[1] Metgod was a member of the famous Haarlem team, that competed in the UEFA Cup in the 1982–83 season, for the first time in the club's history.
