Career

After playing for junior club The Mullumbimby Giants, Chisholm was a part of the under 18's NRRRL premiership win in 2008 for the Giants. Chisholm signed with the Melbourne Storm and was called into their under-20 side. He played in the Storm's Toyota Cup win over Wests Tigers in the 2009 Grand Final.[1]

Chisholm made his NRL debut for the Melbourne Storm in round 10 of the 2011 season against the Canberra Raiders.[2]

In 2010, Chisholm was named in the French preliminary squad for the 2010 European Cup. Chisholm qualifies for the French side because of his mother and grandparents.[3] He played 4 games for France in 2011, debuting at fullback in France's loss to the England Knights. He also scored 3 tries in France's 42-10 victory over Scotland.[4]

In November 2011, Chisholm signed to play for the Wests Tigers in the 2012 season.[5] He failed to make an appearance in first grade, and finished the season playing for feeder team Balmain Ryde Eastwood Tigers and was a member of the side that lost the NSW Cup grand final.[6]

Chisholm signed for the Manly Sea Eagles for the 2013 season but in 2014 made the switch to Rugby Union signing with the Manly Marlins. [7]
