Luke Chapman

Career
Chapman worked his way through the Port Vale youth team and made his first-team debut as a last minute substitute for Danny Glover in the final game of the 2007–08 season – a 1–1 draw with Southend United at Roots Hall. However, a serious knee injury meant he did not feature for the main team in the 2008–09 season.
He was transfer listed in September 2009, along with the entire Port Vale squad, after manager Micky Adams saw his team slip to a third consecutive defeat. He left the club by mutual consent the following month. He signed with Hednesford Town of the Southern Football League, making three appearances during the season, scoring once against Leamington in the Southern League Cup. In summer 2010 he signed with Rocester of the Midland Football Alliance, despite an offer from Atherstone Town.
