Career
Born in Wigan, Greater Manchester, Chow started his career with his hometown club Wigan Athletic, joining the club at the age of nine after being spotted by a Wigan scout whilst playing for Blackbrook JFC. He progressed through the youth system at the club and signed his first professional contract in 2012, signing a two-year deal. On 12 August 2014 he was called up for a matchday squad for the first time, remaining an unused substitute as Wigan lost 1–2 away to League Two club Burton Albion in the first round of the League Cup at the Pirelli Stadium. He made his debut for the club on his first league call-up on 14 April 2015, appearing as a substitute for Jermaine Pennant for the last nine minutes of a Championship game away to Millwall, a 0–2 defeat at The New Den.
Four days later, he made his first start on his first appearance at the DW Stadium, against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Earlier in April, Chow had been told by Wigan manager Malky Mackay that he would be released at the end of the season. However, new manager Gary Caldwell gave him a new contract.
Chow reflected to British Broadcasting Corporation Radio Manchester that "I had a few other options and I was basically looking at a new club for the summer, but it"s a funny old game, isn"t it?".
