A highly-rated 21-year-old youth team product, Chaney earned himself a professional contract during the summer of 2014 following some impressive displays as he came up through the ranks.
Loan spells at the likes of Evo-Stik League South West side Bideford and Bostik League North outfit Waltham Abbey gave him much-needed competitive experience and he has gone on to make over fifty first-team appearances for Torquay.
The midfielder scored his first (and only) goal for the club to date against Woking last season.
