**Matteo Merini** (born 21 January 1988) is an Italian former professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who played as a [striker](/source/Striker_(association_football)).

## Club career

[Lazio](/source/S.S._Lazio) loaned Merini to Polish club [Kmita Zabierzów](/source/Kmita_Zabierz%C3%B3w) in early 2008. He was supposed to become one of the very few Italians players in the Polish club competitions, but he broke his jaw in two places in a friendly game and returned to Italy without making a league appearance for Kmita.[1]

In July 2008, Merini went on trial with Scottish side [Livingston](/source/Livingston_F.C.) but was not offered a permanent contract.[2]
