Calum Chambers (born 20 January 1995) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Southampton. Originally a member of the club's academy system, Chambers was promoted to the first team at the beginning of the 2012–13 season. He plays primarily as a right-sided winger or full back.[2]

Club career

At the beginning of the 2012−13 season, Chambers was revealed as one of four youth players to be promoted to Southampton's first team, being assigned the squad number 28.[3] During the pre-season period he made a number of appearances for the team, playing in the Memorial Cup against Anderlecht,[4] coming on as a second-half substitute in the matches against Evian Thonon Gaillard and Étoile Carouge,[5][6] and making late appearances against Ajax and Wolverhampton Wanderers.[7][8]

The midfielder made his full debut for Southampton on 28 August 2012 in a 4−1 win over Stevenage in the second round of the League Cup,[9] coming on as an 84th-minute substitute for Dean Hammond and providing the assist for the final goal of the match by Ben Reeves.[10]

On 31 July 2013, Chambers signed a new four-year contract with Southampton.[11]

He made his first-team league debut on 17 August 2013, when he played the full 90 minutes at right-back of the opening game of the 2013–14 season in a 1–0 win against West Bromwich Albion.[12]

International career

Chambers made his debut for the England under-17 team on 2 February against Portugal.[13] In March he played in all three of the side's matches in the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship elite round, scoring their only goal of the tournament in a 1−0 win over Ukraine.[14]

On 26 September 2012, Chambers made the step up to the England under-19 team, playing the full 90 minutes in the side's 3−0 win over the Estonia under-19 team in the 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship qualifying round.[15] On 28 September Chambers came on as a second half substitute in the England under-19 team's match against the Faroe Islands under-19s, which England won 6−0, scoring the final goal of the match in the 84th minute.[16] He scored his second under-19 international goal in a 1–0 victory against Turkey on 21 March 2013.[17]
