Chilaka began his career with the sadly now defunct Rushden & Diamonds in 2002, spending two years in their academy.

 

In 2004 he joined Notts County and signed a professional contract in July 2005.

 

Following his release in 2006 Chilaka decided to study at Hull University but returned to football with Bridlington Town in 2008.

 

Having scored 25 league goals in 31 appearances he moved to Leeds Carnegie where he scored 20 goals in 29 games.

 

After a successful trial, the big striker signed for Bradford City on non-contract terms and made his Football League debut against Preston North End in the Carling Cup in 2010.

 

Following loan spells with Bradford Park Avenue and Harrogate Town, he joined Braintree Town in 2011 following his release.

 

Another spell with Park Avenue was sandwiched between two spells with Harrogate and Chilaka spent time with Gainsborough Trinity in 2016/17.

 

He joined Shaw Lane AFC prior to the start of the 2017/18 season and returned to Harrogate to score against them for his new club in a pre-season friendly.

 

He scored 13 goals in 43 games for the Ducks before their sad demise earlier this summer.
