Charlton Release Captain Greg Docherty

The club says a late deadline-day loan for Oliver Skipp meant Docherty faced reduced minutes so both parties agreed a mutual exit.

Overview

Charlton confirmed on Wednesday that midfielder Greg Docherty has left the club by mutual consent and is now a free agent.
Docherty joined Charlton in July 2024, made 90 appearances, captained the side to promotion from League One and led the team during their Wembley play-off success.
His final outing for the club came in last week’s Carabao Cup defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.
Manager Nathan Jones said the squad must evolve and that the arrival of Oliver Skipp on a late loan made Docherty’s playing time likely to fall, prompting talks that led to the parting.
The move lets Docherty seek a new club outside the closed transfer window and ends the chapter on a captain widely praised by fans and club staff for his leadership and contribution to promotion.
