Christopher Matthew "Chris" Zebroski (born 29 October 1986) is an English footballer who plays for Football League Two club Bristol Rovers as a forward, having previously played for Plymouth Argyle, Millwall, Oxford United, Torquay United and Wycombe Wanderers.

Club career

Zebroski was a youth player for Swindon Town, but was released by the club after failing to earn a professional contract. After his release there he trained under the watch of former Wales international Steve Lowndes at Cirencester football academy, it was from here that he was spotted by scouts of Championship club Plymouth Argyle and signed as a youth player by the club. He later signed a professional contract, and made four first-team appearances for Argyle before his contract was terminated after he was found guilty of gross misconduct by the club. This followed an incident involving the club captain Paul Wotton; Zebroski glassed Wotton in the face, who required over 100 stitches.

Three weeks after his sacking by Plymouth Argyle, he was signed for Millwall by manager Nigel Spackman. On 21 March 2007, Zebroski joined Oxford United on a month's loan. On 31 July 2007, Zebroski signed for Conference National side Torquay United on loan until May 2008, and went on to score 19 goals in league and cup competitions during the 2007–08 season.

He was transferred to Wycombe Wanderers for £20,000 in June 2008. Zebroski finished the 2008–09 season with seven goals from 33 league matches, mostly from the wing, helping the team win promotion to League One. The start of the 2009–10 season saw Zebroski score two goals in a 3–2 defeat at Charlton Athletic. On 20 November 2009, Zebroski returned to Torquay United on loan with a view to permanent transfer in January. He scored twice in a 5–0 home win against Darlington on 12 December and the move later became permanent.

After helping the club avoid relegation from League Two during the 2009–10 campaign, Zebroski scored 14 league goals to help the club finish seventh and reach the play-offs the following season. In the semi-final first leg versus Shrewsbury at Plainmoor, Zebroski scored the first goal to set up a 2–0 victory. The second leg finished 0–0, leaving Torquay to play Stevenage in the play-off final at Old Trafford. Stevenage won the match 1–0. He followed former Torquay manager Paul Buckle to his new club, Bristol Rovers, in July 2011.
