With an air of resignation, allow me to introduce you to Jayden Meghoma. Born on that fateful day, 28 June 2006, this young man from England has decided to utilise his talent in the defence of football, mainly as a left back. He's got some heft to him, standing at a modest 5ft 8in (1.75m) and weighing in at 11st 2lb (71kg). And, as an iconic nod to his own mediocrity, Meghoma dons the number 30 jersey for the Rangers.
The powers-that-be at this Transfermarkt seem to have gauged Meghoma's worth at a cool half-mill Euro, which, when translated in real money, comes out as £430,000. And you thought your job was pointless.
Now, let's take a drawn out stroll through Meghoma's highlights. In the gloomy autumnal month of September 2022, he took up residency at Southampton in the Championship from his home country. English football culture at its finest, I'm sure.
Then, in the summer of 2024, he skipped on over to Brentford in the Premier League, for a fee that somehow amounted to £5m. I wonder how Brentford's accounting department managed to justify that one. During his debut season, he graced the pitch for a grand total of one league game.
Clearly yearning for a change of scenery, he hopped on loan to Preston North End in the Championship in January 2025, tantalisingly increasing his count to a dozen league appearances. Post-loan, he returned to Brentford, adding yet another appearance to his tally.
He now finds himself marooned up in Scotland, having transferred (on loan, naturally) to Rangers in the Premiership in August 2025. Since then, Meghoma has engaged in another round of deceivingly impressive activity, making 11 appearances and scoring a single goal in the 2025 - 2026 season.
If you're a particular masochist for statistics, you may like to know that our embodiment of dynamism also graced the League Cup, Champions League Qualifiers, and the Europa League in 2025 - 2026 for the Rangers, with two, two, and five appearances respectively. Oh, and he scored once. Masterful.
Thus is the whirlwind journey of Jayden Meghoma. Asynchonous, if nothing else.
