Early career

Chappuis began his playing career with hometown club FC Kloten but soon moved on to SC YF Juventus, spending some time in their youth ranks. He was on the move again though as Swiss Super League side Grasshopper Club snapped up the promising midfielder in July 2003.

Club career

Grasshoppers

Chappuis moved up through Grasshopper's youth system, soon playing regularly for the reserves but not being able to break into the first team though he was named in match day squads several times as he began training with the senior team.

Locarno and Lugano loans

In order to get some first team experience he went on loan to FC Locarno for the 2011–2012 season.[1] He made his debut for Locarno on 25 July 2011 against FC Wohlen and scored the first goal of his loan spell in a 2–1 away win versus FC Wil on 20 November 2011. Chappuis returned to Grasshopper at the end of the term and was immediately loan out again, this time to FC Lugano for the duration of the 2012–2013 season. He made his debut for Lugano on 14 July 2012 against FC Wil in a 3–1 victory.

Buriram United

In 2013, Chappuis moved to Thailand to join Buriram United and due to his Thai mother he was able to obtain Thai nationality thus allowing him to play for the club in the Thai League T1 and AFC Champions League within the domestic quota. He scored his first Buriram goal against Suphanburi FC, he scored by curling a corner into the second post. He also scored a goal in the 2013 AFC Champions League against Jiangsu Sainty, but twisted his knee and was ruled out for three months while celebrating the goal. Chappuis scored his second goal against Chainat FC on September 8, 2013.

gollark: At that point, the Sun's life will have been over, and DC will probably not be around.
gollark: It would take 432 billion years or so to collect the necessary dragons at that rate.
gollark: Let's assume that every single cavedrop you get one white dragon, ignoring eggslots for now.
