Playing career

Chevell played 4 games for Newtown in 1910 but did not play in the grand finale against South Sydney which Newtown won despite drawing 4–4 at full time. Newtown were awarded the premiership due to the fact that they finished minor premiers. Chevell was also a noted Australian Rules player and a cricketer.[2][3]
