Richard David Chaplow (born 2 February 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for United Soccer League club Orange County Blues. He is a former England under-21 international.

Club career

Burnley

Chaplow joined Burnley at the age of eight,[2] before earning a scholarship at the club in 2001. In 2002–03, part of his season in the reserves was blighted by glandular fever, although he returned to action in January.[3] Chaplow suffered from alopecia during 2003, returning to pre-season training having lost all his hair.[3]

West Bromwich Albion

Chaplow joined West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £1.5 million on transfer deadline day in January 2005. The Baggies had previously attempted to force the deal through several times during the transfer window. He moved to The Hawthorns on a three-and-a-half year deal, with the option of a further season.[4] Chaplow made his Albion debut in a 4–1 victory over Charlton Athletic at The Valley on 19 March 2005. He won a penalty soon after coming on as a late substitute, enabling Robert Earnshaw to complete his hat-trick from the spot.[5] Chaplow's first goals for West Brom came in an FA Cup 3rd round replay at Reading on 17 January 2006. His two first-half goals gave Albion a 2–0 lead, but they eventually lost 3–2 in extra-time.[6]

In February 2006, Chaplow signed a three-month loan deal with Championship side Southampton, as part of the deal which saw Nigel Quashie move the other way.[7] He scored his only Saints goal at Brighton on 8 April 2006.[8] Upon his return from the loan he scored his first league goal for West Brom, in a 2–1 defeat at Derby County.[9] Chaplow left West Brom in 2008 after spending three years at the club.

Preston North End

On 9 January 2008, Chaplow signed for Championship team Preston North End on a three-year contract for £800,000 with a further £550,000 payable based on various performance-related criteria. West Bromwich Albion have also inserted a 20% sell-on clause on any future sale.[10]

Southampton

Chaplow joined Southampton once again for an initial one month's loan on 30 September 2010.[11] This was then extended to the end of December.

He scored in a 4–1 victory over Peterborough United, and scored in another 4–1 victory, this time over Huddersfield Town. On 30 December 2010, it was announced Chaplow had agreed a two-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee.[12]

On 15 March 2013, Chaplow joined Millwall on loan until the end of the season.[13] He made his debut the following day, in a 2–0 victory at local rivals, Charlton Athletic.[14] His loan period was cut short following an injury sustained in the 1–1 draw with Birmingham City on 6 April.[15]

On 11 July 2013, Southampton Football Club agreed to terminate Chaplow's contract.[16]

Millwall

On 15 July 2013, Chaplow signed a two-year deal with Millwall.[17]

Ipswich Town

On 20 February 2015, Chaplow signed on loan for a month at Ipswich Town, with an agreement that he can stay until the end of the season.[18] On 21 March he scored his first goal for the club, the winner in a 1–0 victory at Watford.[19]

Doncaster Rovers

On 6 July 2015, Chaplow signed for Doncaster Rovers.[20]

Orange County Blues

On 29 July 2016, Chaplow signed with United Soccer League side Orange County Blues.[21]

Robbie Rogers incident

On 21 August 2016, following a 2–0 victory over LA Galaxy II, gay Galaxy player Robbie Rogers wrote on his Facebook page that: “In the heat of the last fifteen minutes of the game a player from the opposing team called me a ‘queer’ repeatedly”.[22] After a league investigation, Chaplow was suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount.[23][24] Following the league's findings, Chaplow denied accusations that he had used homophobic language, claiming: "I have been banned for swearing at a player, not homophobic slurs. At no point in the statement is a homophobic slur made reference to, and the simple reason for this is it didn't happen.".[25]

International career

Chaplow has represented England internationally at a number of age groups including at under-19 level, as well as at under-20 level. In October 2005 he captained the England under-20 side to a 2–2 draw with the Netherlands, in a match played at his former club Burnley's Turf Moor ground.[26]

Chaplow has also made one appearance for England under-21's. He became Burnley's first ever England under-21 international in February 2004, when he came off the bench on his debut against the Netherlands at the KC Stadium.[2]
