The end of our first season back in the Championship is almost upon us – and it’s time to vote for your Charlton Athletic Young Player of the Year!
Voting is open to Valley Gold members ONLY and closes on Sunday, 12th April.
The three nominated players to choose from are:
Karoy Anderson
Although currently on loan at Blackpool to gain further senior experience, it should not be forgotten that Karoy has made 73 appearances for the First Team and 13 of them this season. He made his debut in November 2022 in the EFL Trophy at Plymouth and also scored on his debut.
Karoy signed a new 3 year contract in 2025, and made 13 appearances at National level for Jamaica.
He joined the Academy as an Under 9 player, has always been an all action midfield player, with a never say die attitude. A role model and captain throughout the Academy and now at senior level, always willing to give his time to the younger generation of Academy players. Karoy is genuinely proud of his Academy roots.
Ibby Fullah
Still only 18, Ibby joined the Academy as an Under 10 and has progressed year on year to make his first team debut at the end of last season against Burton Albion and going on this season to so far make 11 more appearances.
Comfortable playing in wide or central areas, he certainly has the ‘wow‘ factor with his dribbling and goal scoring ability.
Ibby signed a long term contract in April 2025 and marked his full debut in August 2025 scoring in the Carabao Cup. There will be many more goals to come! The youngest nominee, but a highly deserving one.
Keenan Gough
Keenan signed for the Academy at U9. He played most of his schoolboy years as a central midfield player, but at Under 18 level and onwards has certainly showed his versatility, also playing centre back. Aged 20, Keenan committed his future to the Club, signing a long term contract in November 2025.
He made his first team debut at Cambridge Utd at the beginning of this season, but has continued the senior journey with 4 more appearances, notably making his first start at Norwich City and then going on to start against Chelsea in the FA Cup, an experience he will never forget.
Dependable wherever he plays, Keenan was awarded the Pierre Bolangi Award in 2023, and that tells plenty about his key characteristics as a person as well as a player, particularly his leadership qualities.
