Career 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. During this season he gained Welsh B and under-21 honours. He later won full honours and made his Welsh debut against Malta in 1998. 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. 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.

On the final day of the 2006-2007 season, Wrexham needed to avoid defeat against Boston United to avoid relegation to the non-league. 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] and 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.
