Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Faythe Harriers

[edit | edit source]

Chin joined the Faythe Harriers club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels, enjoying championship success at under-21 level in 2012.[1] Chin previously played football for St. Mary's and the Sarsfields.[2]

During a 2011 game against Duffry Rovers, Chin was the target of racist name-calling by two Duffry Rovers players who were later suspended from the team.[3] Wexford GAA chairman Diarmuid Devereux condemned the incident, saying such incidents "cannot be tolerated".[4]

On 14 October 2012, Chin was at left wing-back when Faythe Harriers faced Oulart-the Ballagh in the Wexford Senior Championship final. He ended the game on the losing side following a 2–12 to 0–13 victory for Oulart.[5]

Wexford

[edit | edit source]

Minor and under-21

[edit | edit source]

Chin first lined out for Wexford as a member of the minor team during the 2010 Leinster Championship. He made his first appearance on 1 May 2010 when he lined out at centre-back in a 3–21 to 2–17 defeat of Offaly.[6] Chin's minor tenure ended on 26 June when Wexford suffered a 1–16 to 1-15 semi-final defeat by Dublin.

Chin was drafted onto the Wexford under-21 team for the 2011 Leinster Championship. He made his first appearance in that grade on 6 June 2011 when he scored 0-02 from midfield in a 1–19 to 0–10 defeat of Offaly.

Chin was eligible for the minor grade again the following season. On 11 July 2013, he won a Leinster Championship medal after scoring a point from midfield in Wexford's 1–21 to 0–21 defeat of Kilkenny in the final.[7]

Senior

[edit | edit source]

Chin made his first appearance for the Wexford senior team on 24 February 2013. He lined out at left wing-back in a 2–15 to 0–16 defeat of Carlow in the National League.[8] Chin made his first Leinster Championship on 8 June when he came on as a substitute for Ciarán O'Shaughnessy at midfield in a 1-17 apiece draw with Dublin.[9]

Chin was named GAA/GPA Player of the Month for July 2014.[10]

On 2 July 2017, Chin lined out in his first Leinster final. He was selected at centre-forward but spent much of the game against Galway at midfield. Chin scored four points in the 0–29 to 1–17 defeat.[11]

On 20 January 2018, Chin was named amongst the substitutes when Wexford faced Kilkenny in the Walsh Cup final. He was introduced as a half-time substitute for Jack Guiney and scored a point from play in the 1-24 apiece draw. Wexford won the subsequent free-taking shoot-out, with Chin claiming his first silverware at senior level with Wexford.[12]

On 8 April 2023, a charity hurling match between Wexford and Tipperary was ended prematurely after Chin suffered racial abuse from the stands. A full investigation was launched.[13][14]

Chin has also made appearances for the Wexford senior football team, and Wexford youths soccer club in the league of Ireland

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Chin was born in Ireland to a Malaysian Chinese father and Irish mother, who run a Chinese takeaway in Wexford Town.[15] He attended Wexford Vocational College and began training as a barber, before going on to briefly study in Dublin Institute of Technology.[2][16][17] Chin has spoken out about racial abuse he and his family have received during matches and on the streets.[18][19] Chin is a brand ambassador for iPro Sport, Fulfil Nutrition and O'Neills,[20] and has been an ambassador for Pfizer's Healthy Towns campaign.[15]
