A youth product of Hull City since he was 11, Chadwick joined Gainsborough Trinity on loan in 2019.[2] He made his professional debut with Hull City in a 1–1 (8–9) EFL Cup penalty shootout win over Leeds on 16 September 2020.[3]

On 9 July 2021, Chadwick joined Linfield on loan until January 2022[10] and on 3 August scored against CS Fola Esch in the third round of the qualifying stages for the UEFA Europa Conference League.[11] But on 24 November, he returned from his loan spell at Linfield because of an anterior cruciate ligament knee injury.[12]

On 5 January 2023, Chadwick joined Boston United on a month-long loan spell,[13] which was extended for a further month on 2 February 2023[14] and on 6 March 2023 extended for the rest of the season.[15] Having registered six goal involvements in five matches, he was awarded the National League North Player of the Month award for March 2023.[16] He was released by Hull at the end of the 2022–23 season.[17]

On 19 June 2023, he was announced to be joining League Two club Stockport County on a one-year deal, with the option for a further year.[18] On 1 August 2023, he joined National League club Gateshead on a season-long loan deal.[19]
