A utility from Williamstown Presbyterians, Chambers was just 17 when he made his VFL debut in 1946.[1]
After playing 11 games in his first season, he found himself stuck in the seconds during 1947 and requested for a transfer to Williamstown, which was refused by South Melbourne.[2]
Chambers, who was often used as a fullback, put together regular appearances in the seniors over the next three seasons before joining Oakleigh.[3]
