Ellis Chapman, born on 8 January 2001 (age 25), is an English centre midfielder now with Derry City. At 6ft 3in (1.90m), he is a tall presence in the middle of the pitch, though his better years so far have been measured more in output than in profile.
His strongest league campaign came with Sligo Rovers in 2024, when he scored nine goals in 34 appearances. That was the season that gave his career a bit of shape beyond the usual churn of moves and short spells.
In 2026, Chapman made 10 league appearances for Shelbourne before moving on to Derry City, where he has made one league appearance. His market value is around £149,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Chapman’s career to date is that of an established professional still looking to settle into a longer-term role. Sligo gave him his most productive spell, while Derry is the latest stop in a career that has kept moving.
