Steve Germain (born 22 June 1981) is a French footballer who played in the Football League as a forward for Colchester United. He has also represented AS Cannes in France.

Career

Born in Cannes, France, Germain began his football career with his local club AS Cannes.[1] He joined English Football League club Colchester United on loan in April 1999 with a view to a permanent deal. He made six appearances during his month-long loan deal,[2] making his debut on 2 April in a 1–0 home win against Preston North End. He came on as a 71st-minute substitute for Jason Dozzell, aged 17.[3]

Germain joined Colchester permanently following his loan spell, but struggled to break into the first-team. He made nine appearances in total for the U's without scoring a goal,[4] his last game coming on 18 September 1999 in a 3–0 away defeat to Burnley, a game in which Germain started, being substituted for Lomana LuaLua after 52 minutes.[5]

Following his Colchester exit, Germain returned to France, joining AS Auch-Gascoigne.[4]
