Career[]

Celtic[]

Raised in Cambuslang[9][10] and a pupil at Trinity High School, Rutherglen,[11] Chalmers joined Celtic at the age of 10 and went on to progress through the youth ranks at the club's academy.[12] Along with four other youngsters, he signed his first professional contract in December 2011.[13] A member of the club's under-20 side,[14] on 25 August 2012, he made his senior debut for Celtic, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute in a Scottish Premier League match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, replacing Emilio Izaguirre.[15]

On 31 January 2014, Chalmers signed for Falkirk on loan until the end of the 2013–14 season.[16] He made his Falkirk debut at left-back in a 2–0 defeat to Queen of the South at Palmerston Park on 8 February 2014.[17] In his spell at Falkirk, he made a total of 11 appearances. He was injured for the Bairns' Scottish Premiership play-off campaign, meaning his last appearance came in a 3–1 home win against Alloa on 3 May 2014.[18] Afterwards, he returned to Celtic.[19]

After his return, Chalmers was given another chance under new manager, Ronny Deila. However, multiple injuries such as persistent groin and hip problems reduced his playing time much further.[12] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Chalmers was released by the club.[12]

Motherwell[]

On 4 June 2015, Chalmers signed for Scottish Premiership club Motherwell on a two-year contract.[20] Upon signing for the club, he said the move might not have happened had Motherwell lost to Rangers in the play-offs.[21][22] He made his debut on 1 August 2015, in a 1–0 win against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[23] He was released by the club in May 2017, at the end of his contract.[24][9]

Inverness Caledonian Thistle[]

On 13 July 2017, Chalmers signed a two-year contract for Scottish Championship club Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[25][10] He scored his first career goal versus Queen of the South in a 3–1 win, in which the ball rolled over the line after being deflected around the box by the defenders.

Ross County[]

On 20 May 2019, Chalmers left Inverness and joined their bitter rivals, Ross County, making the list of a few players to have "crossed the bridge".[26]

Ayr United[]

In September 2020, Chalmers joined Ayr United on a two-year deal.[27]

Dunfermline Athletic[]

On 24 January 2022, Chalmers joined Dunfermline Athletic for an undisclosed fee on an 18-month contract.[28]

International career[]

Chalmers represented Scotland at under-16, under-17, under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels.
