Chris Mepham

Chris Mepham of West Bromwich Albion was born in Hammersmith, England on 5 November 1997 (age 28).

Chris Mepham, born on 5 November 1997 (age 28), is a Wales centre-half with West Bromwich Albion. At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is a commanding defender, and his career has been built more on steady first-team exposure than fuss.

His best league return came at Brentford in 2017-18, when he scored once in 21 appearances. For a central defender, that season mattered less for the goal and more for the regular senior football it gave him, helping move him beyond promise into proper Championship-level work.

In 2026-27, Mepham has made four Championship appearances for West Brom, along with one in the FA Cup and one in the League Cup, taking him to six appearances across all competitions. He has also been involved with Wales, making four appearances in European World Cup qualifying.

Mepham’s career has settled into the shape of a dependable Welsh international centre-back: developed through meaningful league football at Brentford, now operating at West Brom, with regular involvement for his country.
