Addicks academy graduate Karlan Grant rejoined the club in July 2026. 

The forward departed The Valley in 2019 and has since gained a wealth of experience in both the Premier League and Championship. 

Grant first joined the club’s esteemed academy at the age of 12 after being spotted taking part in Charlton Athletic Community Trust’s holiday courses, and quickly rose through the ranks, making his senior debut in the Championship in 2014 at the age of 17. 

He went on to make 98 first-team appearances for the Addicks, netting 21 goals, while taking in loan spells with Cambridge United and Crawley Town, before departing in January 2019 to join then-Premier League outfit Huddersfield Town. 

Grant enjoyed a prolific 22-month spell with the Terriers, netting four goals in his first half-season in the top flight, before bagging 19 Championship goals in 2019/20. 

His form prompted West Bromwich Albion to take him back to the Premier League in 2020 with the attacker, who is adept at playing centrally as well as out wide, putting pen to paper on a six-year deal at the Hawthorns. 

In total, Grant found the net on 35 occasions for the Baggies across 173 appearances in all competitions and spent the 2023/24 campaign on loan with Cardiff City where he racked up another six goals in 40 outings.
