Christopher Colin Brunt (born 14 December 1984) is a Northern Irish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder and is the current West Bromwich Albion loan player manager. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders in the club’s history.[4]
A versatile player, Brunt featured primarily as a left winger, but could also operate as a left-back or attacking midfielder. Brunt started his career with Middlesbrough but did not manage to make an appearance for the first team. He joined Sheffield Wednesday in 2004 and amassed 153 appearances for the club before joining West Bromwich Albion in 2007, where he went on to feature in over 400 matches.
Brunt earned 65 caps for the Northern Ireland national team between 2004 and 2017. He also represented his country at youth level.
