It is, with that of Méline Nocandy, the other departure which will mark the end of the season of Metz Handball. Orlane Kanor, the left-back, has signed up with the Rapid Bucharest for next season.
The 24-year-old Guadeloupean gradually returned to the game, at the end of 2021, after a long convalescence due to a ruptured Achilles tendon which cost her her place at the Tokyo Olympics with the French team.
She will leave the club leaving a big footprint. Arrived at the age of 18 at the training center, she quickly made her mark and won three French championship titles and two French cups. With the France team, she was crowned World Champion 2017, 2018 European champion, 2020 European vice-champion and 2021 World vice-champion.
I wanted to put myself in a bit of trouble. Metz will remain in my heart for life as I think for many girls who left the club. Orlane Kanor
His twin sister, Laura, remains at Metz Handball since she has re-signed for a season.
Orlane Kanor joins Rapid Bucharest, current leader of the Romanian championship, ahead of the other big club in the city, CSM.
