Club career

Early years / Granada

Born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, Nyom only played amateur football in the country, competing in the reserves championship with AS Nancy-Lorraine and appearing for AC Arles-Avignon in the Championnat National. In the summer of 2009 he was signed by Udinese Calcio from Italy,[3] being immediately loaned to Granada CF in Spain as part of the partnership agreement between both clubs.

Nyom quickly became an undisputed first-choice with the Andalusia side, helping them promote from Segunda División B to La Liga in just two seasons.[4] He made his debut in the latter competition on 27 August 2011, in a 0–1 home loss against neighbours Real Betis.[5]

Nyom renewed his contract with Udinese in late May 2013, but continued playing with Granada.[6] He scored his first and only goal in the Spanish top flight on 25 October 2014, putting the visitors ahead in a 1–1 draw at SD Eibar.[7]

Watford

On 14 July 2015, Nyom signed for newly promoted Premier League team Watford on a four-year contract from Udinese.[8] He made his debut on 8 August, starting in a 2–2 draw at Everton.[9]

West Bromwich Albion

On 31 August 2016, Nyom joined fellow league team West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee.[10] After establishing himself in the starting lineup he got his first assist in a 4–0 home win against Burnley, on 22 November.[11]

International career

Nyom opted to represent Cameroon internationally, and gained his first cap on 11 November 2011 in a 3–1 friendly win with Sudan. He was selected by manager Volker Finke for his 2014 FIFA World Cup squad,[12] making his debut in the tournament on 23 June against Brazil as the Lions Indomptables were already eliminated from the knockout phase after two losses: he provided the cross for Joël Matip's equalizer shortly before the 30-minute mark, but the hosts eventually won 4–1.[13]
