Koffi Christian N'dri (born 4 June 1983), commonly known as Romaric, is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays for Indian club NorthEast United FC. A versatile midfielder, he can play as either a defensive or central midfielder.
Born in Abidjan, Romaric started his career at the famed youth academy of hometown club ASEC Mimosas, moving to Farm team K.S.K. Beveren in 2003.
In his second season in Belgium he scored a career-best 13 goals in 32 games, but his side narrowly avoided relegation from the Pro League.
In May 2005, Romaric joined French club Le Mans UC72. In late August, however, he was involved in a serious car accident, fracturing his collarbone and taking a blow to the head close to Liège, in Belgium.
Romaric quickly recovered from his injuries and established himself in the Maine team's starting eleven. In 2006–07, he scored five goals in 35 matches as Le Mans easily retained its Ligue 1 status (12th position), and was also linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain F.C. as a replacement for departing Vikash Dhorasoo in the January transfer window – nothing came of it eventually; in his last season he reunited at the Stade Léon-Bollée with compatriot Gervinho, a former teammate at Beveren.
