Joseph Chalmers (born 3 January 1994) [8] is a Scottish footballer who plays as a left-back or midfielder for Scottish Championship club Dunfermline Athletic. He previously played for Celtic, Falkirk, Motherwell, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Ross County and Ayr United.
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]
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]
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.
In September 2020, Chalmers joined Ayr United on a two-year deal. [26]
On 24 January 2022, Chalmers joined Dunfermline Athletic for an undisclosed fee on an 18-month contract. [27]
Chalmers represented Scotland at under-16, under-17, under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels.
