Experienced midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah joined the Addicks on a one-year deal in the summer of 2026.

Chalobah joined Chelsea’s academy at the age of 10 and progressed through the ranks at Cobham to earn his first professional deal in January 2012 before captaining the Blues to FA Youth Cup glory later that year.

After being rewarded with a five-year contract in the summer of 2013, he gained valuable senior experience during loan spells with Watford, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Burnley, Reading and Napoli, where he played Europa League football.

The midfielder would then go on to enjoy permanent stays at Watford, Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield Wednesday, where he made a further 235 appearances across the top-two tiers of English football.

Chalobah has also earned international recognition, representing England at both youth and senior level.
