Biography:
A "deadball specialist" and one of Northern Ireland's few players with significant Premier League experience, Chris Brunt's performances from left-midfield have been hit-and-miss, ranging from sublime crossing to outright lethargy. On 11 February 2009 he scored his first international goal with a long-range curling free kick against San Marino.


Brunt finished as West Brom's top scorer in 2009/10 as they made an immediate return to the Premier League. 


Since 2013 Brunt has began to appear regularly at left-back for both club and country.

----

Brunt left West Brom in 2020 and joined Bristol City. His time at Ashton Gate was cut short by injury and his contract was cancelled mid-season by mutual consent. He returned to West Brom as an Academy coach in March 2021.
