The club have triggered a one-year extension clause in Miles Leaburn’s contract, keeping him at Charlton until the summer of 2026.
The 20-year-old joined the Addicks academy in 2019 and has scored 22 goals in 63 appearances for the men’s first team, including netting twice in Tuesday’s 3-0 win over Chelsea U21s in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy.
Technical Director Andy Scott said: “We had the option to trigger Miles’ one-year extension, he would have been out of contract this summer. In addition we’ve offered him a new contract.
“Miles is a very talented player and has done really well since arriving into the men’s first team in the summer of 2022. He has fantastic technical ability and really good physical attributes, with his pace, height and power. Mentally he has shown his resilience to come back stronger from a very tough injury last season.
“He will continue to learn and develop under the guidance of Nathan Jones and our staff – we were all really pleased to see him get back on the scoresheet on Tuesday.”
The news means Leaburn is the latest academy graduate, aged 21 or under, contributing to the men's first team, who is under contract beyond the end of this season. Zach Mitchell signed a new, long-term contract with the Addicks earlier this month, following in the footsteps of fellow first-teamers Tyreece Campbell, Nathan Asiimwe, Daniel Kanu and Karoy Anderson, who have all penned long-term deals in the last 15 months.
The Addicks are back at The Valley on November 16th against Peterborough United. Click here to purchase your ticket now.
