U18s star Sam Washington-Amoah has signed his first professional contract with the club.
The midfielder joined the Addicks' academy at U15 level and has enjoyed a strong season under Jason Pearce.
"I'm buzzing to have signed a professional contract at the club," Washington-Amoah said. "I joined at U15s after playing in a Valley Gold tournament for Charlton and I've really enjoyed it here. It's been really exciting and I've blended in really well with my teammates.
"I've seen lots of first-team players come through the academy and there is a pathway, so I know if I do what I need to do I can get there."
Interim Academy Director Steve Avory added: "We're delighted to get Sam's professional contract over the line and see him commit himself to a future here at the academy.
"We only signed Sam as a 15 year-old so he hasn't been in the system long, but he's shown some very good progress. He's a midfield player who can play box-to-box and in a deeper role as well. He has been making the transition to the U21s and looks comfortable in that group too."
Charlton fans can support the academy by signing up to the Valley Gold scheme. Valley Gold enables fans to support the club’s academy in unearthing the talents of tomorrow, as well as giving them the chance to win cash prizes.
