'''Dominic Chatto Bashir Jamilu''' (born 7 December 1985 in [[Kaduna]], [[Nigeria]]) is a [[association football|football]] [[midfielder]] from [[Nigeria]] who plays for [[Falkenbergs FF]] in [[Superettan]]. He has played three times in Nigerian youth teams.

==Career==
===Club===
{{Original research|section|date=July 2015}}Chatto started playing football in the age of six. He developed into one of the most talented players of his region and was always chosen to lead his team as a captain. Chatto learned to play football in Pepsi Football Academy in Nigeria. Before moving to [[Nigerian Premier League]] and [[Heartland FC]] he trained also in Highlanders Football Academy. In the league he succeeded so well that, in 2005, he was given a tryout in [[Blackburn Rovers]]. Eventually, he didn't get a work permit, because he hadn't played in 70 percent of national team matches. Despite this, Blackburn and [[Mark Hughes]] wanted to sign a contract and send Chatto to [[Cercle Brugge]] for a loan. Chatto refused to go to Brugge, because he would have had to wait three months to get a playing right for the Belgium league. After England, he visited [[Dynamo Kiev]] and [[Brøndby IF]], but didn't get a contract offer. He chose to go back to Nigeria and wait for new offers from European clubs.

====Inter Turku====
His professional career in Europe started in 2007, when [[Finland|Finnish]] [[Veikkausliiga]] club [[FC Inter Turku]] signed him. In his first season, he was voted as the third-best player in the league and was called up to the Nigerian under-23 national team. After the season, he signed a new year-long contract with the [[Turku]]-based club. In the 2008 season, Chatto was linked with a move to Slovakian [[FC Senec]], Serbian [[FK Partizan]] and [[Red Star Belgrade]]. The owner of FC Inter refused to sell without a large transfer fee and Chatto stayed in the club.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://turunsanomat.fi/urheilu/?ts=1,3:1006:0:0,4:6:0:1:2008-06-12,104:6:546783,1:0:0:0:0:0: |title=Etusivu - Turun Sanomat |website=Turunsanomat.fi |date=2015-11-18 |accessdate=2016-02-18}}</ref> In the last match of the championship season [[Serie A]] club [[Atalanta B.C.]] was scouting Chatto. Some Russian league clubs were after him and also FC Inter offered him a new contract and was hoping to keep the player. After the season 2008, Chatto was voted for [[Veikkausliiga]] players' player of the season.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110720155915/http://www.veikkausliiga.com/News.aspx?type=1&ID=31895 ]</ref>

====BK Häcken====

The transfer negotiations started when former Finnish international [[Janne Saarinen]] contacted Chatto via Facebook.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://footballinfinland.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/dominic-chatto/ |title=Dominic Chatto | Football in Finland |website=Footballinfinland.wordpress.com |date= |accessdate=2016-02-18}}</ref>
Chatto scored a goal against [[IF Elfsborg]] in a pre-season friendly.
