Alfie May joined Charlton in July 2023, arriving from Cheltenham Town for an undisclosed fee.

Born in Gravesend, May began his senior career in non-League with Corinthian, Billericay Town, Chatham Town, Bromley, VCD Athletic, Erith & Belvedere, Farnborough and Hythe Town, who he bagged 43 goals for in two seasons to earn a move to Doncaster Rovers in January 2017.

Following three years in south Yorkshire, which included promotion to the third tier, the forward joined Cheltenham. He fired the Robins to the League Two title in his second season at the Completely-Suzuki Stadium.

May arrives at The Valley having scored 67 goals in 165 appearances for the Robins, 43 of which have come in League One over the past two seasons as he became the club’s record EFL scorer.

That sensational form saw him scoop Cheltenham’s Player of the Year, Players’ Player of the Year, Supporters’ Player of the Year and Norwegian Robins Player of the Year two years running.

He was also named the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month for March 2023 after bagging five goals - including a spectacular strike from inside his own half at Peterborough United - and an assist in an unbeaten month for the Gloucestershire side.
