The following season <strong>Lille<\/strong> and <strong>Auxerre<\/strong> agreed a deal for the then 19-year-old <strong>Frenchman<\/strong>, with the former loaning him back to <strong>Auxerre<\/strong> to make 22 appearances, finding the net twice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meite<\/strong> returned to <strong>Lille<\/strong>, where he remained until the 2015-16 season, making 41 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>In the winter transfer window of 2016 he moved to <strong>Zulte Waregem.<\/strong> He spent two years in the <strong>Jupiler Pro League<\/strong>, first on loan and then via regular transfer.
