In January 2009, Chalmers was loaned out for one-month to Crawley Town.[5] The loan was later extended for a second month. Chalmers was then recalled early from his loan spell at the Broadfield Stadium, due to an injury crisis back at Aldershot Town.[6] Chalmers scored his first-ever Football League goal against Barnet in April 2009.

He made his debut a day later coming on for Chris Hargreaves in the 2–1 home defeat to Hayes & Yeading.

Macclesfield Town

Chalmers was released by Aldershot at the end of the 2009–10 season and subsequently signed for Macclesfield Town in June 2010, initially on a one-year contract.[8] He left Macclesfield at the end of the 2011–12 season after making 53 league appearances, scoring 5 goals.

In July 2012 he joined Conference National side Grimsby Town on trial,[9] and played in the clubs 12–3 victory over Grimsby Borough on 11 July 2012, however two days later it was announced that he would not be offered a contract.[10]
