Chris Mepham, born on 5 November 1997 (age 28), is a Wales international centre-half with West Bromwich Albion. At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is an imposing defender, and his career has been built more on steady first-team accumulation than noise.
His most productive league season came at Brentford in 2017-18, when he scored once in 21 appearances. That spell was the important early platform: regular Championship football, enough responsibility to sharpen him, and the sort of exposure that tends to sort defenders out quickly.
Mepham is now with West Brom, where he has made four Championship appearances in 2026-27, along with one in the FA Cup and one in the League Cup. He has also remained involved with Wales, featuring four times in European World Cup qualifying and twice in the Nations League this season.
His career has followed a clear line: developed at Brentford, established himself as a senior centre-back, and continued as a Wales international while playing in the English league system. It is a solid, practical profile rather than a decorative one.
