'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>","tE5\/cAASNno=":"16134","6l8yPzqHDBU=":"1","1kAmWj\/JD1c=":"182cm","nfywpqgCEcE=":"Richard Chaplow","JfewPyQ6YRg=":"Orange County SC","ObOGU2+SHry\/km8AG\/S9RQ==":"1985-2-2","15ED45hF\/8Sl0V20oFN2rg==":"999","wQyX0GnSz1uSxu6CZIvIcw==":"\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e07\u0e01\u0e24\u0e29","zuo4bi2f1y\/JsbifIy0QZQ==":"","Oa2IuNwBtkw=":"Richard Chaplow","v8f2wI0TZlS\/km8AG\/S9RQ==":"4","wGaPidSj3a4=":"12844","EE2yE2DWp\/zj1+keAZv0Fw==":"","917bhWH7wumTFG4Esb0h8Q==":"0","e_index":1}; var playerStats={"e_index":1};
