Club career

Fulham

On 17 December 2016, Humphrys made his professional debut in the EFL Championship against Derby County at Craven Cottage. [3] He joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on loan for the rest of the season in January 2017. [4]

On 31 January 2018, Fulham announced Humphrys would be joining Rochdale on loan for the remainder of the season. [5]

Southend

On 19 January 2019, Humphrys joined Southend United on a permanent deal from Fulham, scoring two goals on his debut, in a 4–0 win at Bradford that same day.

On 25 February 2019, he suffered a collision with Accrington Stanley goalkeeper Johnny Maxted as he won a header which would result in a goal. In the process, he suffered a fractured cheekbone and eye socket and 15 broken bones in his face, leading to metal plates being inserted and the need for a face mask to be worn for the rest of the season. Following surgery in early March, he also underwent another operation after the end of the season. [6]

On 5 May 2019 Humphrys came off the bench to score the winning goal for Southend in a 2–1 win over Sunderland. The goal saved Southend from relegation to League Two.

Rochdale

Heart of Midlothian

In August 2022, Humphrys signed for Scottish Premiership team Hearts on a season long loan. He scored his first goal for the club in a league match against Kilmarnock on 9 October 2022.

Humphrys' place in Hearts folklore was sealed on 4 February 2023 when he scored from his own half in a 3–1 win over Dundee United. [10]

On 10 May 2024, Wigan announced that he would be released in the summer when his contract expired. [11]
