'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>","dR1+ADNEm2lcpWFk6lG9Zg==":"2021-11-9","tfEdzGAemK0=":"1","CzguHM8WS93EfCvcDEww\/g==":"999","z5Y67K11JOiUIghdirKJFQ==":"0","bNzYY2JnjaIKMs9OC2JuJg==":"","YDUt6NuR7cBwXTR5mC4Jzw==":"","z5Y67K11JOggkP9qc6DVGzaijTcOPjrL":"1","JwXz1\/QWlIA=":"16134","aifGNIETZe6hzUpKTatfcw==":"","vPqnPNTlh05cpWFk6lG9Zg==":"1985-2-2","yg2IOe564dk=":"182cm","cfcBlRGoOcBcpWFk6lG9Zg==":"4","+dL4VHJBUUU=":"70kg","00Uj1WK13eg=":"Richard Chaplow","3JBq0VG16oE=":"Richard Chaplow","3dOGRY9YVEBmgdG9fBLRAw==":"\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e07\u0e01\u0e24\u0e29","y\/UOKf\/Owk4=":"Orange County SC","ytUJNEMdBMg=":"12844","UqOPtrgVPYCJSJYJYNn\/ig==":"","e_index":9}; var playerStats={"e_index":9};
