Romain Jules Salin (born 29 July 1984) is a French professional footballer who plays for Stade Rennais F.C. as a goalkeeper.

Club Career

Born in Mayenne, Mayenne, Salin spent six of his first seven seasons as a senior in Ligue 2, in representation of Stade Lavallois, FC Lorient, FC Libourne-Saint-Seurin and Tours FC. In 2007–08 he was part of the second club's Ligue 1 squad, but failed to make any competitive appearances.

In the 2010 off-season, Salin moved to Portugal where he would remain the following six years, signing with Associacao Naval 1º de Maio who was coached by compatriot Victor Zvunka. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 14 August, in a 0–1 away loss against FC Porto.

After his team's relegation, Salin went on to appear for fellow league sides C.S. Maritimo (two spells) and Rio Ave FC. He played ten games for the former during the 2012–13 edition of the UEFA Europa League, which ended in group stage elimination.

In the summer of 2016, Salin returned to his homeland and joined En Avant de Guingamp on a one-year contract. His maiden appearance in the French top division occurred on 21 September at the age of 32, in a 1–0 home win over FC Lorient.

On 29 July 2017, Salin agreed to a two-year deal at Sporting CP, replacing the departed Beto as backup to Rui Patricio. He began his second season as first choice, but following injury against Portimonense S.C. in October 2018 he was surpassed by loanee Renan Ribeiro.

Salin went back to his country's top flight in June 2019, signing for Stade Rennais F.C. for two years.
