Ellis Chapman, born on 8 January 2001 (age 25), is an English centre midfielder currently with Shelbourne. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he brings obvious size to the middle of the pitch, though his better recent return has come from timing and use of space rather than anything too dramatic.
His strongest league season came at Sligo Rovers in 2024, when he scored nine goals in 34 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his productivity at senior level, a solid campaign in which he offered more than just midfield ballast.
At Shelbourne in 2026, Chapman has made eight league appearances without scoring. Across all competitions for the club he has 14 appearances and no goals, including outings in Champions League qualifying, Europa League qualifying and the Conference League. His current market value is around £149,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Chapman’s career so far is that of an established professional midfielder in Ireland, with Sligo providing his most productive spell and Shelbourne now giving him European as well as domestic minutes.
