Capalaba FC is excited to announce the addition of another quality marquee player to its 2020 NPLW squad.

Amy Chapman joins Capalaba FC’s top squad for season 2020.

Chapman is a well recognised and respected figure on the Australian football scene as a player, administrator and commentator.

Her playing career kicked off in her home town of Albury, where she was scouted and offered a position at the Australian Institute of Sport, training and playing there between 2003 and 2008.

With the introduction of the W-League, Chapman joined Canberra United for the 2008-09 season, qualifying for the finals and impressing enough in her 12 appearances, to see her recruited by that seasons premiers, Brisbane Roar. Chapman was an integral member of the Roar squad over the next 9 seasons, retiring from the W-League ahead of the 2018-19 season.

During her time at the Roar, they were consistent finalists in all but two seasons, Premiership winners in the 2010-11 season and taking the Championship in the 2012-13 season. In her 63 appearances, Chapman scored 10 goals.

In the off-seasons, Chapman made her way to the US, signing to play for the Los Angles Strikers in the USL W-League for their 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Since retiring from the W-League, Chapman has plied her trade in the QLD NPLW with Souths United, where she was a prolific goal scorer, with 54 goals across two seasons, as well as two entries in the NPLW team of the season for her exploits in front of goal.

Whilst at the AIS, Amy was selected for her first senior Australian squad, travelling to Russia for the 2006 FIFA under 20 Women's World Championship. Thereafter, Chapman was a mainstay of the senior Matilda's squad, making 20 appearance from 2007 to 2013.

Off the field, Amy is building a career as a respected commentator and pundit on Women’s Football, making regular appearances for Optus Sport during the 2019 Women's World Cup and Fox Sports during the W-League season.

Welcome to Capalaba FC, Amy we are privileged to have a player of your standing in the game join our Club as we look to build on our 2019 success.
