Nathan Chappell (born 4 December 1989) is an English professional rugby league footballer who plays for Hunslet in Betfred League 1.
Previous clubs represented include the Featherstone Rovers, the Sheffield Eagles and Oldham.[3]
He began his career at Newsome Panthers at the age of 7 where he played until he signed at the Huddersfield Giants aged 17. After 3-years at the club, 1 year at the Castleford Tigers, and a 2-year stint at the Featherstone Rovers, he moved to Australia to play in the Canberra Raiders Cup with the Goulburn Workers Bulldogs.[4] He also represented the Canberra team. He played there for 2-years before returning to England where he signed for the Featherstone Rovers once again.
Chappell has arguably the fastest recorded hat-trick in rugby league (Featherstone v York, minutes 73–78), along with old teammate Greg Eden (Castleford v Leigh, minutes 33–38), which are both within a 5-minute period.[5]
His preferred position is centre, followed by second-row.
