Christopher Richard "Chris" Todd (born 22 August 1981) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a defender for Truro City. Between October 2015 and August 2016, Todd was the player-manager of Eastleigh.
Born in Swansea, Todd began his career as a trainee with his home town club, Swansea City, turning professional in August 1999. He made his debut on 10 March 2001 at home in a 1–1 draw with Northampton Town, going on to make 46 appearances before being released in June 2002.
Todd then moved to Republic of Ireland, where he spent a season with Drogheda United.
He returned to English football with Exeter City in January 2003. Although he was unable to prevent Exeter being relegated from the Football League that season, he remained with the club, and was consistently a first-team regular.
Upon Glenn Cronin's departure during the 2006 off-season, Todd was appointed captain of Exeter City for the 2006–07 season.
Todd joined local rivals Torquay United in June 2007 for a fee of £7,500. and quickly became a regular in the newly relegated Conference National side.
With his treatment for his leukaemia going well, Todd returned to training and on 2 February 2009, joined Salisbury City on loan to regain match fitness.
After a successful loan spell at Salisbury, he returned to Torquay for the last month of the 2008–09 season. Todd went straight back into the first team and, during this month, he won the 'Man of the Match' award for the Conference National Play-off Final, helping Torquay win the game and promotion to League Two.
