Our subject today is Jayden Meghoma, born 28 June 2006 in England. He's only 19 years old but has already made a name for himself in the footballing scene. Meghoma is a left back for Rangers, defending the number 30 jersey with all 71 kilos (11st 2lb) of his 1.75m (5ft 8in) frame.
As valued by the sages at Transfermarkt, this young lad's market value apparently hovers around £640k. You have to wonder if someone at Rangers was feeling far too generous that day, don't you?
In true nomadic footballer spirit, Meghoma began his career at Southampton in the Championship back in September 2022. From the Championship and then onto the Premier League with Brentford in August 2024, where he transferred for around £5m. Fielded once in the first team during the 2024 - 2025 season, it might be said that Meghoma was beginning to feel a bit lonely out there.
Probably seeking a bit more company on the pitch, he then transferred on loan to the gloriously named Preston North End, still within the warm embrace of the Championship. Here, he made a whopping 12 first-team appearances during the 2024-2025 season. Unfortunately, Meghoma's joy ride came to an abrupt end when he returned from loan to Brentford in June 2025.
His dreams of Premier League glory once again reduced to a single first-team appearance, he probably couldn't wait to pack his bags when he finally got word about a loan stint at Rangers in the Scottish Premiership. For the 2025 - 2026 season, young Meghoma has already made 18 first-team appearances and managed to net one goal. I do hope someone was keeping the ball for him.
With a resume that includes two starts in the League Cup 2025 - 2026, as well as two appearances in the Champions League Qualifiers and six games in the Europa League, Meghoma's career is on an uphill climb. Let's hope his current trajectory isn't just a flash in the pan. I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this lad, whether we want to or not.
