Newsham signs new Charlton deal

Newsham commits despite ACL setback

Charlton Athletic have handed defender Charlotte Newsham a fresh one-year deal - a proper show of faith given she won't be kicking a ball competitively until early 2027.

The 26-year-old ruptured her ACL back in May. Not ideal timing. But the club clearly see enough in her to keep her on the books while she recovers.

From Sheffield to south-east London hero

Newsham arrived at Charlton in the summer of 2024, having left Sheffield United. She wasted no time making herself useful, racking up 21 appearances in Barclays WSL2 last season and playing a key part in the club's promotion to the top flight.

That kind of contribution doesn't get forgotten easily - even when a serious knee injury enters the chat.

Positive vibes from the player

Newsham herself sounded upbeat after putting pen to paper, expressing happiness at her time with the club and confirming her rehab is going well, as reported by WSL Full-Time.

Charlton fans will be hoping she comes back stronger. Given what she delivered before the injury, they've got good reason to.
