Career

Malcolm began his career with West Bromwich Albion, and in 2019 was linked with a transfer away from the club.[2][3] He signed a new three-year contract with the club in July 2021.[4]

He moved on loan to League One club Accrington Stanley in August 2021.[5] He had also been linked with a move to Shrewsbury Town.[6] He made his Accrington debut on 4 September, appearing as a substitute alongside Ethan Hamilton, who was also making his debut.[7] The loan was terminated in January 2022 after Malcolm was recalled by West Bromwich Albion.[8]

On 11 February 2022, Malcolm joined National League side Solihull Moors on a one-month loan deal.[9][10] He made his Solihull debut a few days later, in the FA Trophy.[11]

On 17 January 2023, he made his first team debut and scored his first goal for West Brom in a 4–0 home win against Chesterfield, appearing as a substitute in a FA Cup third round replay match.[12] On 26 April 2023, he made his Football League debut for West Brom, in a 2–0 away defeat against Sheffield United.[13]

He moved on loan to League One club Cheltenham Town in September 2023.[14] He was sent back to his parent club on 2 January 2024.[15]

He was released by West Brom at the end of the 2023–24 season.[16]

On 21 September 2024, Malcolm joined National League side Gateshead on a two-year deal, having previously appeared for them in pre-season as a trialist.[17]
