Chapman played 14 games for Sheridan, predominantly in the unfamiliar position of left wing-back.

“Ellis has played pretty much every time he’s been available and has been one of their best players.

“He’s helped them go from a relegation battle towards mid-table.

“He’s done fantastically well and, as an under-18, he’s played 25 games in professional football.

“You could probably count on the fingers of one hand the amount of under-18s who have played 25 first-team games this season.”
