Dion Charles, a forward, joins Huddersfield Town on a permanent deal from Bolton Wanderers. Mark Cartwright,

Michael Duff, and Dion Charles provide their thoughts.

Charles, a born goal scorer, comes to Town after scoring 57 goals in 149 games for Bolton Wanderers. He finished his

Lancashire career with two appearances at Wembley in the 2023 Virtu Trophy Final and the Sky Bet League One

Play-Off Final, where his goal helped the team win 4-0.

He is a teammate of Brodie Spencer and Callum Marshall and a full international for Northern Ireland. Since making

his debut in 2021, he has amassed 22 caps, scoring three goals for his nation. Charles made a name for himself in

non-league football before moving up the tiers after beginning his career at the Blackpool academy.

With eight goals and four assists in 29 appearances in all competitions so far this season, Dion becomes our third

additional this month after Ruben Roosken and Joe Taylor, and he will take the squad number 15 for Town.

Huddersfield Town Sporting Director Mark Cartwright commented:

“I’m thrilled to have Dion join the Club. His arrival came after that of Ruben and Joe, so we’ve had a great January

transfer window so far, and we’re only halfway through the month as we try to do our business on time.

We are right up there in terms of creating chances, making crucial passes, and scoring predicted goals when you look

at the team’s underlying numbers, but we haven’t been converting those chances as well as we should have. Even

though we haven’t lost in Sky Bet League One for more than three months, our goals for the season are still the same,

and we are doing everything we can to position Michael and his team for success.

“Dion’s goal scoring record speaks for itself at both club and international level, and bringing him in alongside Joe

Taylor gives us a completely refreshed front line. Players we believe will work well together and be complimentary on

the pitch, I’m again grateful for Chairman Kevin Nagle and CEO Jake Edwards’ support in bringing a second forward

to the Club this month.”

Huddersfield Town Head Coach Michael Duff added:

It’s fantastic to see Dion join the team, and I can’t wait to start working with him and his new comrades right away.

One player I’ve coached against a lot, he’s not only a consistent goal threat but also a really hard-working forward,

and I think he’ll fit in well with the team’s tactics and play structures.

“Dion, who is joining us in the prime of his career, is the kind of player I know Huddersfield Town supporters will

want to support because his ambitions align with ours. As we enter a crucial second half of the season, the three new

players we added in January give us new hope and direction.

Our latest signing Dion Charles said:

“I’m happy to have made the move and joined the Town team because I was immediately drawn to the club’s vision

and the possibility of helping to put Huddersfield Town back where we belong.

“You become enthusiastic about the Club’s goals and the standards demanded of the players present when you talk

with Mark Cartwright and Michael Duff. Brodie and Callum have only told me positive things about the Club and

team, therefore I think this is the best course of action for my career and a place where I can challenge myself to

become a better player.

“With the team playing well and the atmosphere at the Club so positive, I’m just looking forward to putting on the

shirt for the first time and showcasing my true self, even though the second half of the season is really important.”

Welcome to the Terriers, Dion!
