Chapman signed for Chesterfield from nearby non-league side Belper Town in the summer of 2013.[3] He joined Chester on a one-month loan in February 2014.[4] He made his professional debut on 2 September in the Football League Trophy match against Scunthorpe United, after coming off the bench to replace Tommy Lee in the seventh minute.[5] On 23 September 2014, Chapman joined Accrington Stanley on a two-month loan deal.[6] On 11 October, he had to be substituted in the closing stages of Accrington Stanley's 2–1 home defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge following an injury to his left foot. His loan spell was cut short and he returned to Chesterfield on 13 October, having played three games for Accrington.[7] On 14 August 2015, Chapman joined Bristol Rovers on a one-month loan deal.[8]

Accrington Stanley

In summer 2016, Chapman joined Accrington Stanley on a two-year contract.[9] In an EFL Cup tie against Bradford City on 9 August 2016, Chapman came on as a substitute after Elliot Parish was sent off. The game went to a penalty shootout which Stanley won 11–10 and Chapman took and scored a penalty.[10] Accrington Stanley won the League Two title in 2017–18, with Chapman also winning the League Two Golden Glove award, having kept 18 clean sheets in 45 league games.[11][12] At the end of the 2017–18 season, he was offered a new contract by Accrington.[13]

Peterborough United

On 7 October 2020, Chapman was announced as a new signing by Scottish Premiership club Motherwell, with manager Stephen Robinson describing him as being "experienced cover and competition to Trevor" (Carson).[18] He was released by the club at the end of the 2020–21 season.[19]

On 6 July 2021, Chapman returned to England to join League One side Gillingham following his release from Motherwell.[20] Chapman was released by the club following relegation to League Two at the end of the 2021–22 season.[21]
