, Essex
, Chilvers entered the Arsenal
Academy
at the age of seven, and featured in their FA Youth Cup
final win over Coventry City
in 2000. On 22 December 2000, he joined Second Division
club Northampton Town
on a four week loan. He made his debut the next day, in a 2–1 win over Peterborough United
at London Road. He started six further games for the "Cobblers", only one of which ended in defeat, before returning to Highbury
at the end of his loan spell. Unable to extend the loan deal, Town boss Kevin Wilson was "sorry to see Liam go".
Chilvers joined Notts County
on a three month loan spell in November 2001, and made eleven appearances for the club. He scored his first senior goal on 1 December, scoring a consolation goal in a 3–2 loss to Bristol City
at Ashton Gate.
He spent the first half of the 2002–03 season on loan at Belgian Pro League club K.S.K. Beveren
, who had a partnership with Arsenal at the time; John Halls
, Graham Stack, and Steve Sidwell
also were sent on loan to the Belgian side. He was sent off on his debut – a 6–1 defeat by Sint-Truidense. He made four further appearances out of position as a full-back, before he returned to England – by that time his three Arsenal colleagues had returned to London and the Beveren manager had given up trying to speak to Chilvers in English
. He later admitted he did not enjoy his experience, though he did get to play alongside Yaya
and Kolo Touré
. On 24 January 2003, he joined Colchester United
on loan until the end of the season, after impressing manager Steve Whitton
on a trial. He only made six appearances. At the end of the campaign Arsenal and Northampton Town agreed a transfer that would see Chilvers sign a three year deal at Northampton; however Chilvers backed out on the deal in the final stages of negotiations.
He returned to Colchester United on loan at the start of the 2003–04
campaign, initially on a three month deal. He made his League Cup
bow against Rotherham United
at Millmoor
on 23 September, and was sent off for the first time in his professional career for a professional foul in the last minute of a 1–0 defeat; Colchester stated that they would appeal the ban. He retained his first team place after serving his suspension, and the loan deal was extended until the end of the season. Chilvers made a total of 45 appearances in league and cup throughout the campaign.
Chilvers was released by Arsenal in June 2004, and so quickly agreed to join Colchester United on a permanent basis. Manager Phil Parkinson
said that "Liam's a quality player. He's got the chance to go a long way in the game." He was sent off the second time in his career when he received two yellow cards in a goalless draw with Port Vale
at Vale Park
on 8 March 2005; Vale also had two players sent off in what was described as 'a dour game'. He netted his second senior goal on 16 April, his ninetieth minute strike at the Galpharm Stadium
winning the U's a share of the points with Huddersfield Town
. In all he made 48 appearances in 2004–05
.
He received interest from Barnsley
in September 2005, though he remained put at Colchester. He made another 40 appearances in 2005–06
, and found himself on the scoresheet in games at Milton Keynes Dons
and Bournemouth
. He helped the club to win promotion into the Championship
as League One runners-up. During the campaign he picked up eight bookings.
Chilvers joined Preston North End
on a two-year contract in July 2006, with an option for a further two years. He fitted in well at the Championship club, and made 49 league and cup appearances in 2006–07, finding his way onto the scoresheet in games at Ipswich Town
and Barnsley. At the end of the season he signed a new contract, which would see him tied to the club until June 2010.
He made 31 appearances in 2007–08, and was a key first team member until he ruptured his Achilles tendon in a pre-match warm-up in March. A difficult injury that also required surgery, he was initially expected to be out of action until December 2008. However Chilver was 'impatient', and strived to return from his injury as soon as possible. A 'model patient', he returned to training in August 2008, a whole three months ahead of schedule. However he still missed almost the whole of the 2008–09 campaign, and only appeared as a last minute substitute in a 2–1 win over Birmingham City
at St. Andrew's on 25 April. He played 26 games in 2009–10, however manager Darren Ferguson
did not offer him a new contract at the end of the season.
Following a trial with Peterborough United, Chilvers signed for former club Notts County, now in League One
, on two-year contract on 23 July 2010. He lost his first team place after he was sent off for a professional foul in a League Cup defeat to Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers
on 21 September. He returned to the starting eleven in November, though only played two games from December through to February. He returned to action to post a total of 27 appearances in 2010–11
. However manager Martin Allen
informed Chilvers that he could leave the club, despite the player still being under contract.
He did not play a competitive game for the "Magpies" at the start of the 2011–12
season, though he did play the second half of the club's 1–1 friendly draw with Juventus
at the newly opened Juventus Stadium. Instead Chilvers joined Port Vale on a month long loan on 22 September. After four good performances the loan deal was extended until 24 December. He stated his hopes to win a permanent contract at the club.
