'CHAPPY' joined Albion in a £1.5million move from his only previous club Burnley on transfer deadline day in January 2005, penning a three-and-a-half year deal.

The silky-skilled midfielder joined the Clarets as an eight-year-old and worked his way through the ranks before signing professional forms.

He emerged as a regular in the Burnley midfield during 2003\/04 and became the Turf Moor club's first-ever England Under-21 international in February of that season, coming off the bench against Holland at Hull's KC Stadium. He had previously represented England at both Under-19 and Under-20 levels.

Chaplow's impressive form continued the following campaign, prompting Bryan Robson to snap him up.

However, with more established midfield players already at the club, first-team chances proved hard to come by during his first year at Albion and he joined Southampton on a three-month loan in February 2006.

Unfortunately, his successful Saints spell was cut short towards the end of his loan term by injury. He underwent a minor cartilage operation at the beginning of May 2006 but recovered in time for the start of pre-season.<\/SPAN><\/P>","249186B187931B83":"70kg","556D73B2C9A2AD6A1BFA53519B08D73A":"999","B13BBD17F9E21D375893DBD6F2FC7F72":"4","32F0494A6A8D9C00F8184D20C089D458":"1985-2-2","72FFC7073AEDD99FBC6698239F961CC0":"2021-11-9","B30DC6D2B47145B0561823D5497E0EB0F2ED3572A53AF87A":"1","e_index":0};
