Luke Chambers (born 28 September 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays for Ipswich Town. He is primarily a centre-back but has also played as a right-back. Chambers has previously played for Northampton Town for whom he made over 100 appearances in five years, and Nottingham Forest where he played over 200 times.
Born in Kettering, Northamptonshire, Chambers made his debut for local side Northampton Town against Mansfield in 2003. He was named captain by then Northampton manager Colin Calderwood, who later signed him for Nottingham Forest. His only goal as a Northampton player came against Swansea City in October 2006.
Chambers signed for Forest for an undisclosed fee on 30 January 2007, rejoining former Northampton manager Calderwood. His league debut came away against Bradford City. In his first season, he was mainly used as a substitute. During the 2007–08 season, Chambers was played regularly at right-back as part of a Forest defence that kept a record 24 clean sheets, eventually earning them promotion to the Championship. He scored eight goals in total, six of them in the league.
On 4 August 2008, Chambers signed a new three-year contract, keeping him at the City Ground until 2011. He began the 2008–09 season again selected at right-back. Criticism was expressed at his ability to fulfill that position at Championship level. It wasn't until the arrival of new manager Billy Davies in January 2009 that Chambers was finally selected at centre-back. In the 2008–09 season he scored two goals: the first was the decider in a 2–1 home win against Sheffield Wednesday and the second came on the last game of the season in a 3–1 home win against relegated Southampton.
