## Club career

[edit]

Sacras began his career as a footballer at the club Swift Hesperange in Luxembourg. He excelled in the youth group of the club, where he was noticed and then supervised by Ligue 1 side Metz. He finally signed a youth contract with Metz in 2011. From 2013 until the beginning of the 2016–17 season, he played for the reserve team at Metz who then played in the CFA and later the CFA 2. He played both in the position of left back and central defender.[citation needed]

At the beginning of the 2016–17 season, he was unable to sign a full professional contract with Metz to join the first team, so instead signed for Fola Esch.
