Christopher Charles Humphrey (born 19 September 1987 in Saint Catherine) is a Jamaican professional footballer who plays as a winger. Humphrey has spent his whole club career in the United Kingdom, playing for English clubs Shrewsbury Town, Stafford Rangers and Preston North End, and Scottish clubs Motherwell and Hibernian. He has also played for the Jamaica national team in 12 matches, having made his full international debut in 2012.
Born in Jamaica before moving to Walsall at the age of 5, Humphrey was at Walsall's Centre of Excellence until he joined West Bromwich Albion.
After playing in a reserve team match against Shrewsbury Town on 4 September 2006, Shrewsbury manager Gary Peters was impressed by Humphrey's performance and inquired about his availability, discovering that he was out of contract. Two days later Humphrey had signed for Shrewsbury on a free transfer until the end of the 2006–07 season, with Peters joking that he had kidnapped Humphrey.
Three days after signing, on 9 September, Humphrey made his debut as a 79th-minute substitute for Ben Herd in a 1–0 home defeat to Lincoln City. On 8 February 2007, and having made nine substitute appearances, Humphrey's progress had pleased Peters sufficiently to earn him a one-year contract extension until summer 2008.
In his first season, he made a total of 14 league appearances for Shrewsbury, all but one as a substitute. Humphrey played for Shrewsbury, as a late second-half substitute, in the 2007 Football League Two play-off Final. Shrewsbury lost 3–1 to Bristol Rovers at Wembley. A mistake was made on his shirt, spelling his surname as "Humphery".
