'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>","ZBfJfWbXWR0=":"12844","3rMbbTM7HFQ=":"182cm","PwE3JlWJlwI=":"70kg","NcGUacbr47\/xfUTX9awwoQ==":"","e1ypNQUFHYlyLrlxi0s+nA==":"999","CKOSZhGGhgcg8Sy4bmphzA==":"\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e07\u0e01\u0e24\u0e29","UVcwCD7p\/eg=":"16134","39fm9jKVm2SBJEIug90itg==":"4","iM6jBnaxnn8=":"Richard Chaplow","rJS7UGFBmLfF2LATa162xw==":"","+jXT3yQ1QoWBJEIug90itg==":"2021-11-9","ZALJn2JruOlJVgxyUnj2AQ==":"0","5lQ0KypN2cc=":"Orange County SC","b8w4ckR0pUaBJEIug90itg==":"1985-2-2","J+KvZ9u4Yk8=":"Richard Chaplow","CkR2sZ0PdGZc2Pals0c0Gw==":"","e_index":5}; var playerStats={"e_index":5};
