Christy James Pym (born 24 April 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for League Two club Exeter City.

Club career

Pym was born in Exeter, Devon.[1] He came through the youth ranks at his hometown club, Exeter City. Pym was captain of the under-18 team when he was handed a professional contract by manager Paul Tisdale in April 2013.[4]

Pym made his debut for Exeter as cover for Artur Krysiak in a 3–2 victory over Southend United at Roots Hall on 15 February 2014.[5] He went on to become first choice keeper for the last five league matches of the season and was rewarded with a new contract at the end of the season.[6] He began the season as Exeter's first-choice goalkeeper after Artur Krysiak was released.[7]

In 2014–15, Pym battled for starting position against fellow 19-year-old James Hamon, eventually playing 25 league games to the latter's 21.[8] The following season, new Austrian signing Bobby Olejnik was the undisputed starting goalkeeper in league games, until Pym edged back into the line-up in October 2016.[9]

International career

On 28 August 2014, Pym received his first call-up to the England under-20 team for a friendly match against Romania.[10]
