Macaulay Gillesphey has completed a permanent move to Sky Bet League One side Bradford City for an undisclosed fee.
The centre-back’s name will forever be etched in Addicks history after he scored the winning goal in the 2024/25 Sky Bet League One play-off final.
Signed from Plymouth Argyle in January 2024, Gillesphey made 109 appearances for the Addicks across all competitions and scored eight goals.
Gillesphey said: "The last two-and-a-half years have been some of the best of my life and I’ll always look back at my time here with a huge amount of pride. We went through plenty of ups and downs, but those ups have been something else!
"The play-off semi-final against Wycombe was obviously special, but for me to be the one to score the winner at Wembley in front of nearly 40,000 Addicks is something me and my family will always treasure.
"Charlton quickly became our home and my daughter was born here, so we'll always have a special connection with this club and the area.
"Thank you for everything."
Manager Nathan Jones said: “We’d like to thank Macca. We’ve had two-and-a-half really productive years since he first came in. We had some real open and honest conversations about what he needed to do to play in our team and he adjusted quickly. He then had a fantastic year in League One, which culminated in him scoring one of the most important goals in Charlton’s recent history. He then proved that he could also play in the Championship.
“We wish him all the best. He’s going to a fantastic football club with a wonderful manager, because I know Graham Alexander very well. I’m sure he’ll be at the top end of League One again and fighting for another promotion. We wish him all the best and thank him for all that he's done for the club.”
Everyone at the club would like to thank Macaulay for his service and wish him all the very best for the future.
