Description:
Harry Chapman is a product of Middlesbrough youth system – academy known for producing some very good wingers in recent years, such as Stewart Downing and Adam Johnson.

He he has been in unstoppable form this season and has even won the Barclays U21 Premier League Player of the Month award for November. He didn’t make his senior team debut yet, but it seems to be only a matter of time before manager Aitor Karanka gives him a chance. In February 2016, he was sent on loan to League One side Barnsley FC to gain valuable first-team experience. He made his international debut playing for England U-18 squad on 26 March 2015, in a friendly match against Switzerland.
Quotes:
“Harry is one of many players who has made good progress both in possession of the ball, and more importantly for me, his work rate without the ball. He can set the world alight with his individual talent , but as a coach, I’m even more delighted with his understanding and his contribution to the team. He can be as good as he wants to be, like many of our young players. But he needs to keep his head down, work hard and understand that he’s part of a team.”
(Paul Jenkins – Middlesbrough U21s coach)
