Olivier Sorlin (born 9 April 1979) is a French former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He spent most of his career playing in France.

Career

Sorlin was born in Saint-Étienne, Loire.

Out of favour during his sixth season with Stade Rennais F.C., he took the opportunity to play abroad, and transferred to PAOK FC in January 2009. Following a very successful six-month loan, Sorlin signed a new two-year contract with the club in June 2009, after PAOK came to terms with Rennes.

On 29 August 2010, after the first game of the 2010–11 season, Sorlin suddenly asked for his contract to be broken so he could leave the club, citing that major family problems required him to return to France. According to his agent, Sorlin had already made some contacts with Evian, competing in Ligue 2, to continue his career in France.
