CHAPMAN

Ben Chapman

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, before joining Dulwich Hamlet in the summer of 2019.

After a season in South London, he signed for the Fleet in July 2020. A two-footed box-to-box 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 last season earned him the Supporters’ Player of the Year in 2021/22 and fans were delighted to see him embark on a fifth season at the Kuflink Stadium with a new deal signed in summer 2024.
