Club career

Norwich City

A product of the Norwich City youth team, Chris broke into the first team at Norwich in the 1997–1998 season making a total of 16 appearances with 3 goals. Due to poor form in the 2002–03 season, however, he lost his place and went on loan to Bristol Rovers; he was released in June 2003 from Norwich.

Wrexham

Chris signed for Wrexham and a strong 2003–04 season saw him recalled to the Welsh squad in May 2004 and come on a sub to win his 3rd cap against Norway.

Hartlepool United

Later, he signed for Hartlepool United but only stayed one season and returned on a free to Wrexham on 29 June 2006.

Return to Wrexham

On the final day of the 2006–2007 season, Wrexham needed to avoid defeat against Boston United to avoid relegation to the Conference National. After coming from 1–0 down, Chris Llewellyn scored the goal which handed the Red Dragons a 2–1 lead before they eventually winning 3–1 and preserving their Football League Two status. He was released by Wrexham in May 2008 following the club's relegation to the Football Conference.[1]

Grimsby Town

He joined Grimsby Town on a two-year contract in July 2008.[2] He made his league debut in the opening game of the season, in the goalless draw with Rochdale. He made 32 appearances in all competitions for Grimsby, 17 as substitute.[3]

Neath

Llewellyn was released by Grimsby at the end of the 2008–09 season and joined Welsh Premier League side Neath Athletic.[3] After scoring five times in the opening five games of the season, Neath manager Andrew Dyer praised Llewellyn's performances and described him as "the best striker in the league".[4] However, he scored just four times during the rest of the season.

Llanelli

In June 2010, he left Neath by mutual consent to sign for Llanelli.[5] Llewellyn scored in the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League second leg tie against FK Tauras Tauragė.

International career

He gained Welsh B and under-21 honours. He later won full honours and made his Welsh debut against Malta in 1998. He was recalled to the full Wales squad in May 2004 and come on a sub to win his 3rd cap against Norway. Chris scored his first international goal for Wales against Liechtenstein in November 2006 alongside his ex Norwich City strike partner Craig Bellamy.
