Early career After playing in the lower grades at the Melbourne Storm, Chee-Kam joined the
Canberra Raiders in 2010. From 2010 to 2012, he played for the Raiders'
National Youth Competition (NYC) team. In November and December 2010, he played for the
Australian Schoolboys. In May 2012, he signed a three-year contract with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles starting in 2013. On 21 August 2012, he was named at second-row in the 2012 NYC Team of the Year.
2014 In Round 26 of the
2014 NRL season, Chee-Kam made his National Rugby League debut for the
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles against the
North Queensland Cowboys.
2015 On 3 August 2015, after limited opportunities with Manly-Warringah, Chee-Kam signed a one-year contract with the
Wests Tigers starting in 2016. After being told he was unwanted by Manly, he played 4 games for them towards the end of the season. He said, "I didn't think they were going to give me those games that I played at the end after they told me that, so I was pretty happy with those couple of games that I got. I used that to build my confidence and get some experience playing at the top level."
2016 In Round 9, Chee-Kam made his Tigers debut against the
South Sydney Rabbitohs. On 25 May, he re-signed with the Tigers on a one-year contract.
2017 With
Tim Simona de-registered by the NRL and
Jamal Idris lacking the fitness to play 80 minutes, Chee-Kam was named at centre for the opening rounds of the season. He said, "I remember when I was on the fringes and seeing a couple of boys come off I would get a little opportunity and you have to make the most of it. I'm trying to feed off that. This is a small opportunity to hold this position and I need to make the most of it." In April, Chee-Kam extended his contract to the end of the 2019 season, saying, "I feel like I've made a family here, I'm really close with all the boys and have made some great friendships and it's exciting to know I'll be here for a while longer. I want this to be my last club and I'm really grateful and blessed to have been given this opportunity." With further injuries to players (including centre
Moses Suli), Chee-Kam remained in first grade for most of the season, playing 22 games. In round 13, he scored his first try in the match against the
St. George Illawarra Dragons.
2018 Chee-Kam was again a regular in first grade in 2018, mostly playing from the bench. Towards the end of the season, he spent some time in the starting team. Playing on the left edge after an injury to
Chris Lawrence, he was averaging 120 metres with the ball and 34 tackles per game in this period.
2019 In Round 5 against the
Brisbane Broncos, Chee-Kam scored the match winning try for the Tigers as they won the game 22-16 at
Suncorp Stadium. He had run from in-field with a minute remaining and proceeded to beat five Brisbane players to score next to the posts. In Round 15 against South Sydney, Chee-Kam scored the winning try for Wests in the final three minutes of the game in the club's 14-9 victory at the new
Western Sydney Stadium. Chee-Kam played 22 games for Wests in the
2019 NRL season as the club finished ninth on the table and missed out on the finals. Wests had the chance to finish as high as seventh on the table but lost their final game of the season against Cronulla at
Leichhardt Oval.
2020 In round 11 against Parramatta, Chee-Kam was taken from the field on a stretcher and sent to hospital after being knocked out attempting to tackle one of the Parramatta players. Chee Kam was then seen shaking on the ground after apparently suffering a seizure. Wests would go on to lose the match 26-16 at
Bankwest Stadium. Chee-Kam made a total of nine appearances for the club as they finished 11th on the table and missed the finals.

2022 NRL season. He played in all three of the clubs finals matches however, as they reached the preliminary final for a fifth straight season, losing to eventual premiers
Penrith 32-12, which was Chee Kam’s 100th NRL game.
2023 In round 3 of the
2023 NRL season, Chee-Kam was sent to the sin bin during South Sydney's 20-18 loss against arch-rivals the
Sydney Roosters. Chee-Kam played a total of 16 games throughout the year as South Sydney finished 9th on the table and missed the finals.
