Jay Tyler Chapman (born January 1, 1994) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays for USL Championship club Charleston Battery, on loan from Hartford Athletic.
Chapman spent two years at TFC Academy, before leaving to play at Michigan State University. During his final year, Chapman was named as a First Team All-American, the first Spartan to achieve first team honours since 1970. Chapman was also a 2014 MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist,[1] and Big Ten Midfielder of the Year.[2] In 2012, he signed with SC Toronto of the Canadian Soccer League, and made his debut on May 11, 2012, in a match against St. Catharines Wolves, and recorded his first goal for the club in a 5–0 victory.[3] [4]
In 2013, Chapman made 14 appearances and scored three goals for K-W United in the PDL.[5]
Chapman signed with Toronto FC as a homegrown player on January 15, 2015.[6]
Chapman was loaned to Toronto FC's USL club, Toronto FC II, on March 20, 2015.[7]
He made his debut against the Charleston Battery on March 21.[8] He scored his first goal for Toronto FC II against Whitecaps FC 2 on April 19.[9] Chapman made his Toronto FC debut a few weeks later in the 2015 Canadian Championship against the Montreal Impact on May 6 as a substitute.
On July 12, 2016, Chapman and teammate Jordan Hamilton were named to the 2016 Chipotle MLS Homegrown team as part of Major League Soccer's 2016 All Star Game festivities.[10]
On November 13, 2019, Chapman was traded to Inter Miami in exchange for $100,000 in General Allocation Money.[11] Following the 2021 season, Chapman's contract option was declined by Miami.[12]
In January 2022, Scottish Premiership club Dundee announced they had signed Chapman to a deal, subject to international clearance and a work permit.[13] Chapman would make his debut as a substitute in the Dundee derby on February 1.[14] Chapman would play once more for Dundee in a league game against Motherwell as he would struggle to break into the first team.[15] [16] Chapman returned to North America at the end of the season, and despite being contracted for another year he did not return to Scotland, apparently due to "paperwork issues".[17] Chapman would officially leave Dundee by mutual consent in October.[18]
In January 2023, Chapman signed for USL Championship club Colorado Springs Switchbacks.[19]
In November 2023, Chapman signed with Hartford Athletic of the USL Championship for the 2024 season.[20] He made his debut on March 9 in a league win over El Paso Locomotive.[21]

Chapman made his debut for the senior team on January 22, 2017, against Bermuda and scored on his first appearance in a 4–2 victory.[24]
