Ellis Chapman is an English central midfielder, born on 8 January 2001 (age 25), now with Shelbourne. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he brings obvious size to the middle of the pitch without needing the usual breathless sales pitch that tends to follow tall midfielders around.
His most productive league spell came with Sligo Rovers in 2024, when he scored nine goals in 34 appearances. That season remains the clearest marker of his attacking output from midfield, and it helped establish him as more than a functional presence in the League of Ireland.
At Shelbourne in 2026, Chapman has made 13 appearances across all competitions, including 10 in the Premier Division and three in European competition, with one goal overall. His current market value is around £149,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Chapman’s senior career has settled around Irish football, with Sligo Rovers providing his strongest scoring season and Shelbourne his current platform. He remains an established professional midfielder with a clear role rather than a player needing to be dressed up as something grander.
