Career
Metcalf, a midfielder, began his career with Norwich City. He made just one substitute appearance for the club"s first team, however, on 13 November 1982 in a 1-0 defeat against West Ham at Upton Park. His first team opportunities in the professional game were effectively ended by a broken leg that he suffered at the outset of his career, from which he never fully recovered.
He was released by the club in 1985 but was re-signed by the Canaries later that year.
He was released again in 1987 and played non-league football in Norfolk for King"s Lynn, Wroxham, Lakeford United, Diss Town and Wymondham Town.
