context_page_description: Christopher Brunt is a Northern Irish professional footballer who is a free agent, having most recently played for Premier League club West Bromwich Albion.
  A versatile player, Brunt has featured primarily as a left winger, but can also operate as a left back or attacking midfielder. Brunt started his career with Middlesbrough but did not manage to make an appearance in the first team. He joined Sheffield Wednesday in 2004 and amassed 153 appearances for the club before joining West Brom in 2007, where he has gone on to appear over 400 times.
  Brunt earned 65 caps for the Northern Ireland national team between 2004 and 2017. He also represented his country at youth level.
context_section_description: He moved to Sheffield Wednesday in March 2004 on an initial short-term deal. A permanent free transfer followed soon after as Brunt signed a two-year contract at Wednesday.
  In the 2004–05 season, his first full season at the club, Brunt helped Wednesday achieve promotion to the Championship by scoring five goals in all competitions with four of those coming in the league. In July 2005, he agreed a one-year extension to his existing contract.
  He went on to hit seven goals the following season, finishing the campaign as the club's top goalscorer. He also passed the 100 appearance mark for Wednesday during the 2005–06 season, making him the club's most experienced player at the time.
  His impressive displays during the 2006–07 season saw him linked with a move away from Hillsborough, with Rangers and Fulham among the clubs interested in acquiring his services. With only one year remaining on his contract, negotiations between Brunt and Wednesday broke down in July 2007, due to what the club described as 'excessive wage demands'.
