A former Crystal Palace youngster, the highly versatile Chapman turned professional at Gillingham, rising through the youth ranks and being handed his senior debut in 2017. He made six senior appearances for the Gills, also turning out for Faversham Town on loan. He rejected a new contract at Priestfield in favour of first-team football and joined Dulwich Hamlet in the summer of 2019.
After a season in South London, he signed for the Fleet in July 2020 and is now embarking on his sixth season at the Kuflink Stadium, becoming the club’s longest-serving player.
A two-footed versatile midfielder, Chapman is also capable of slotting into numerous positions in the middle as well as right-back and centre-back where, despite his unorthodox size in that position, shows great aerial ability. His flexibility and fantastic form for the club in 2021/22 earned him the Supporters’ Player of the Year that season and he has remained a regular fixture in the side as he approaches his 200th appearance this campaign.
