Club career

edit

Manchester United

edit

Chester was born in Warrington, and attended Birchwood Community High School.[4][2] He began his career with his local club, Winwick Athletic.[5] At the age of eight, he joined the Manchester United Academy, and signed a trainee contract at the age of 16 in July 2005. At the end of the season, he played in the teams for both the FA Youth Cup and Manchester Senior Cup finals. However, the teams lost both finals, losing to Liverpool on penalties in the former and to Manchester City in the latter.[6]

In July 2007, Chester signed his first professional contract with United.[2] After being named as a substitute for the first team's 1–0 win over Bolton Wanderers on 17 January 2009,[7] Chester was again selected as a substitute for the League Cup semi-final second leg against Derby County. With United 3–0 up at the time, Chester came on as a 67th-minute substitute for Gary Neville. Although Derby pulled two goals back, United ended up winning the match 4–2, meaning that they won the tie 4–3 on aggregate and qualified for the 2009 League Cup final.[8]

On 2 February 2009, Chester joined League One club Peterborough United – managed by Alex Ferguson's son, Darren – on a one-month loan.[9] He made five appearances for the Posh before returning to Manchester United on 2 March.[10] Towards the end of the season, along with Tom Cleverley and Corry Evans, Chester was nominated by reserve team manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær for the Denzil Haroun Reserve Team Player of the Year award.[11]

On 18 September 2009, Chester joined Championship club Plymouth Argyle on a three-month loan along with his Manchester United teammate David Gray.[12] However, in his third appearance for the Pilgrims, Chester suffered cartilage damage that would rule him out of action for 10–12 weeks, beyond the scheduled end of his loan spell. He therefore returned to Manchester United on 13 October 2009.[13]

On 3 August 2010, Chester joined League One club Carlisle United on loan until 3 January 2011, after impressing in a trial match against Hibernian on 1 August.[14] He made his competitive debut on 7 August, starting at centre-back in Carlisle's 2–0 home win over Brentford on the opening day of the league season.[15] Over the course of his loan spell, Chester scored four goals for Carlisle in 23 appearances in all competitions, including the winning goal in Carlisle's 3–2 FA Cup second round win over Tamworth.[16]

Hull City

edit

On 17 December 2010, Chester expressed an interest in staying at Carlisle beyond the end of his loan contract,[17] but the transfer window brought with it talk of Chester making a transfer to Championship club Hull City, with Hull manager Nigel Pearson going public on 3 January with his interest in the defender.[18] The next day, Hull had a bid believed to be worth around £300,000 accepted by Manchester United, and Chester underwent a medical on 6 January.[19] The transfer was completed on 7 January, with Chester signing a three-and-a-half-year contract.[20] He made his debut in the 2–0 home win against Barnsley on 15 January 2011.[21] Chester scored his first goal for the club in the 2–2 draw against Leeds United at the KC Stadium on 1 February 2011.[22] Chester adjusted well to the Championship, putting in several strong performances as Hull finished the 2010–11 season in 11th position.[23] Chester enjoyed a strong year in his second season at Hull, playing almost every game under managers Nigel Pearson and Nick Barmby in central defence, forming a successful partnership with Jack Hobbs. This partnership was for a long period the basis of the tightest defence in the league as they conceded 44 goals with only champions Reading conceding less.[24] Chester finished the season as runner-up in the club's player of the year awards.[25]

Under new manager Steve Bruce, Chester quickly became accustomed to playing as part of a three-man defence in the team's new system, alongside a combination of Abdoulaye Faye, manager's son Alex Bruce, Paul McShane, and Jack Hobbs. Chester scored his first goal of the season in a 3–2 victory away to Birmingham City on 17 November 2012.[26] Chester played 48 times for Hull in 2012–13 helping the Tigers gain promotion on the final day of the season.[27] On 26 June 2013, Chester signed a new three-year contract with Hull.[28]

Chester made his Premier League debut on 18 August 2013 at Stamford Bridge in a 2–0 away defeat to Chelsea.[29] Five games into his debut season as a first-team player in the Premier League, Chester was ruled out for an initial six-to-eight weeks after pulling his hamstring against Newcastle United on 21 September 2013.[30] After two months out injured,[31] he made his return in Hull's 2–0 defeat away to Arsenal on 4 December.[32] Chester scored his first goal of the 2013–14 season in the fourth minute of Hull City's Boxing Day match against Manchester United; however, he later scored a second-half own goal to give Manchester United a 3–2 victory.[33] On 17 May 2014, he started in the 2014 FA Cup final against Arsenal and scored to put his side 1–0 up, although Hull went on to lose 3–2.[34] Chester played 28 times in 2014–15 as Hull had a difficult campaign and were relegated to the Championship, finishing three points from safety.[35]

West Bromwich Albion

edit

On 29 July 2015, Chester joined Premier League club West Bromwich Albion on a four-year contract for a reported fee of £8 million.[36][37] Chester made his West Brom debut on 10 August appearing in a 3–0 defeat to Manchester City.[38] On 25 August, Chester started for West Brom in a League Cup match against Port Vale, both sides failed to score and the game went to penalties, Chester scored the decisive penalty enabling West Brom to progress to the next round of the competition.[39] West Brom manager Tony Pulis played Chester in unfamiliar full-back roles instead of centre-back leading to Chester becoming unhappy at the Hawthorns.[40][41] In August 2016 West Brom accepted a bid for Chester from Aston Villa.[42]

Aston Villa

edit

On 12 August 2016, Chester signed a four-year contract with newly relegated Championship club Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee, believed to have been more than the £8 million West Brom paid Hull.[43] Chester scored his first goal for Villa, the only goal of the game, against Derby County on 25 February 2017.[44] Chester made 46 appearances in 2016–17 as Villa had a forgettable campaign, finishing 13th.[45] Chester was an ever-present in 2017–18 playing in 50 matches as Villa reached the 2018 EFL Championship play-off final but lost 1–0 to Fulham.[46][47]

Chester began the 2018–19 campaign as a main stay of the team before he suffered a knee injury in January 2019 ruling him out of the remainder of the season.[48] In his absence Villa again reached the play-off final where this time they were successful, beating Derby County 2–1.[49] Speaking at the end of the season Chester revealed that his knee injury is long standing problem and that he had been having to play through the pain barrier earlier in the season.[50] Chester made his return from injury on 18 December 2019 in a 5–0 EFL Cup win over Liverpool.[51] On 25 June 2020, it was confirmed that Chester had been released by Aston Villa, signing a contract extension to allow him to finish the Championship season with Stoke City before becoming a free agent.[52]

Stoke City

edit

Chester joined Stoke City on 31 January 2020 on loan for the remainder of the 2019–20 season.[53] He made his debut on 8 February 2020 in a 3–1 win against Charlton Athletic.[54] The season was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restarted in June with Chester extending his loan to cover the remaining matches.[55] He made 16 appearances for Stoke in 2019–20 helping them to avoid relegation from the Championship.[56] Chester signed a one-year contract with Stoke on 10 August 2020.[57] He made 33 appearances in 2020–21 as Stoke finished in 14th position.[58] In 2021–22 Chester was mainly used as back-up by Michael O'Neill, making 22 appearances and he was released by Stoke at the end of the season.[59][60]

Derby County

edit

On 6 July 2022, Chester joined recently relegated League One club Derby County on a one-year contract.[61] Chester's time at Derby was plagued by continuing injuries. After missing the opening eight games of the season, Chester made his debut in a 2–1 win over Wycombe Wanderers. He appeared in the following five league games before going off injured in a 0–0 draw against Exeter City in October 2022. He returned to fitness but was injured in the warm-up prior to the 4–0 home win over Accrington Stanley in January 2023 before making an appearance.[62] Chester made his first appearance in six months when he started in Derby's 2–0 win over Forest Green Rovers in April 2023, but was substituted through injury after 76-minutes, which would prove to bring his season to an end after just seven appearances, with 35 games missed through injury.[63] Chester was not retained by Derby at the end of the season and became a free agent.[64]

Barrow

edit

On 1 September 2023, Chester joined Barrow of League Two on a deal until January 2024,[65] subsequently extended until summer 2024. On 1 May 2024, the club revealed it had offered Chester another contract.[66]

Salford City
