Matthew Adam Metcalf (born 28 July 1969) is an English retired professional football forward who played in the Football League for Brentford.[1]
Metcalf scored over 100 goals in non-league football for local Norfolk clubs Wymondham Town, Diss Town and Wroxham before joining Southern League South Division club Braintree Town.[2] There he was spotted by Bobby Tambling and recommended to David Webb, manager of newly relegated Second Division club Brentford, early in the 1993–94 season. Metcalf signed a two-year contract with the Bees for a £10,000 fee in September 1993, but made just 9 appearances before his contract was terminated at the end of the season. He scored 13 goals in 22 reserve appearances for Brentford.
