Chambers made his debut first-class appearance for Essex in June 2005 and played 44 first-class matches for the county. During this period he was selected to tour the West Indies with England Lions, and played two matches before he returned home injured. [3]
In 2013 he spent a brief spell on loan to Warwickshire,[4] before signing for Northants.[5] He played 14 first-class matches for Northants, but his contract was not renewed at the end of the 2015 season.[6]
During the 2016 season, Chambers played in the Yorkshire South Premier League for Aston Hall.[7]
