Born in Stoke-on-Trent but raised in Market Drayton, Chadwick began his career with Everton, a product of their academy system. He made his senior debut in the League Cup in September 2001 at the age of 18 and his Premiership debut came three months later. He was a prolific goalscorer for Everton's reserve side but could not force his way into the first team on a regular basis and, after loan spells with Derby County and twice at Millwall, he was glad to join Argyle when Bobby Williamson beat off competition from several other clubs to sign him for £250,000 in February 2005. A combination of injuries and lack of goals meant Chadwick was never able to hold down a regular place in the Argyle starting XI and he was released at the end of his three-year contract.

Following unsuccessful trials with Walsall and Cheltenham Town he joined Hereford United on a six-month deal, after which he had brief spells with Shrewsbury Town and Chester City. Financial problems led to Chadwick leaving Chester for Barrow in January 2010 and he scored eleven goals in 35 games for the club over the next eighteen months. He then joined Stockport County before the 2011-12 campaign and scored 7 times in 19 appearances, before agreeing a loan move to return to Home Park.

Following an impressive start to his second spell at Argyle, the move was made permanent when the transfer window re-opened in January 2012 and Chadwick scored some important goals as Argyle successfully fought to avoid relegation.
