Background

Chad attended St Paul's Catholic College, Manly
NRL career
- First Grade Debut: Northern Eagles v Canberra Raiders at Northpower Stadium at Grahame Park, 20 April 2002 (Rd 6) coming off the bench.
In 2002, Randall played for the now defunct Northern Eagles joint-venture club, before playing for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles from 2003 to 2005 following Manly's re-entry into the NRL as a single-entity club. He was considered to be one of Manly's best players in 2003, however injury and a general lack of form plagued the next two seasons for him.
Randall's good looks saw him model on the catwalk during Australian Fashion Week in 2004, and following this appearance he was asked to model for Adidas sportswear. Randall was also a finalist in the Sexiest Man in League competition in 2004 (placed third) and 2005.
Harlequins RL
Randall moved to Harlequins for 2006's Super League XI. Randall was noted for his effort in attack, whilst his defence was also highly regarded. He played 197 games, just 5 short of the club all-time record. The club reverted to one of its former names, London Broncos, for the 2012 season.
