Chris started life knocking goals in for fun at Prestwich Heys, he was soon moved up the pyramid to Stand Athletic for their 2001/2 season, where he scored 29 goals, despite spending a two month loan spell at Bamber Bridge in October and November to shake off a hamstring injury. He his tenacious and accurate with bags of pace. He returned to Stand Athletic after receiving a them or us ultimatum from Bamber Bridge, when he refused to play in a friendly against Morecambe, instead returning to Stand to help them beat Leek CSOB. He almost moved to Rossendale, but instead joined Celtic, signing on the day before the start of the season. After a season at Bower Fold, Chris felt he needed more starts, and joined near neighbours Radcliffe Borough. He just could not stay away, and returned to the Fold a mere 5 months later, and grabbed a hattrick on his return. Despite being injured towards the end of the season, he earned Young Player of the Season for 2003/04. Dogged by injury throughout the 03/04 and 04/05 campaigns Chris was sidelined for much of the campaign, and with the arrival of more strikers at the club, decided to try Droylsden to ensure a first team place in at the end of May 2005. However, after moving around a little, he wound up at Altincham, where he rejoined Celtic on a month long loan.
