Club career

[edit]

Chelsea

[edit]

Pappoe joined Chelsea as a schoolboy at under-12 level. He featured for the Chelsea reserves during the 2009–10 season while still studying at school. He was the captain of the FA Youth Cup-winning squad of 2010, though he missed the final through injury.[4]

He played nine reserve games, but was sent off against Blackpool after lashing out at an opponent. He missed the start of the 2011–12 season with injuries, returning in early 2012, only to suffer another serious injury, where he was ruled out for the remainder of the season. He returned to action with the youth and reserve teams part-way through the 2012–13 season, and featured in the semi-final and final of the 2012–13 NextGen Series, where the Blues finished as runners-up to Aston Villa.[4]

Loan spells

[edit]

Yet to make his Chelsea first-team debut, Pappoe signed on loan with League One club Colchester United on 16 July 2013, teaming up with fellow Chelsea youth-team product Sam Walker in his second loan-spell with the U's.[5] He made his professional debut as an 86th-minute substitute for Alex Gilbey in a 2–2 draw with Bradford City on 14 September. However, just four minutes after coming on, he was given a red card for a tackle on former Colchester player Mark Yeates,[6] becoming the seventh United player to be sent off on their debut.[7] On 31 October 2013, Pappoe's loan at Colchester was terminated due to his opportunities being limited.[8]

Following Pappoe's unsuccessful loan spell at Colchester United, he joined Isthmian Premier League side Kingstonian on a one-month loan deal.[9]
