'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>","6438FCEB8DF4FD6202A461D3835934E5":"","F9622CC2808B37CB":"70kg","FD1933E1882D5E7A216F21827D2B22B4":"","31E4B7E841B17C66":"Richard Chaplow","70356B8F0C59F6B5":"16134","DF03820F537F8E7C95F8F8605BCB052C":"England","26A41B77C025E2F442D11C4E5D31FCE8":"4","76E5DE99890AB189":"182cm","3DD52A7123843A0599BD59EBE6AB4E97":"","C9B224F2C5B356EF":"Orange County SC","E40B4988E6F21D3C":"12844","95081CC600C137A3ECD07E1A2BAC6047":"999","033EA04110C4B96A":"1","DAF09C52CF6076BDF21F9C2EFDD9E43065C5B3AC13FF9DA2":"1","1E9A8D352C52FB60DE0D25B327F8FD01":"2021-11-9","e_index":7};
