Deal Confirmed: Sky Port Officially Reviews Lucrative 4-Year Deal Between Kyle Wootton and Charlton Athletic FC A NEW Chapter Begins…
In a headline-making transfer that signals the start of a significant new chapter, Kyle Wootton has officially bid farewell to Stockport County after signing a lucrative four-year contract with Charlton Athletic FC. The move, now confirmed by both clubs and reviewed through official league channels, ends weeks of speculation surrounding the prolific striker’s future.
The 27-year-old forward, who has been a vital part of Stockport County’s resurgence in recent seasons, will now take his talents to The Valley in a bid to help the Addicks return to their former glory. The deal, rumoured to be worth a substantial fee, reflects both Charlton’s ambition and Wootton’s desire to test himself at a higher level.
Wootton, who scored 15 goals across all competitions last season, has been a fan favourite at Edgeley Park. His powerful presence up front, combined with an intelligent reading of the game, made him one of the most feared attackers in League Two. He played a pivotal role in Stockport’s push for promotion, and his departure will surely be felt both on and off the pitch.
“It’s bittersweet,” Wootton shared in an emotional farewell message posted on social media. “Stockport has been more than a club to me; it’s been home. But I’m ready for this next step, and I’m incredibly excited about what lies ahead with Charlton Athletic.”
Sources close to the negotiations described the deal as “strategically aligned” for both parties. Charlton sees Wootton as a key piece in their long-term rebuild, while Stockport is believed to have secured both a solid transfer fee and future performance-based incentives. The club also took the opportunity to thank Wootton for his professionalism, leadership, and commitment during his time with the Hatters.
Manager Pete Wild of Stockport County acknowledged the loss but remained optimistic. “Kyle’s been a fantastic player and person. Of course, we’re disappointed to see him go, but we also respect his desire to push forward in his career. This deal reflects the kind of professionalism and ambition we support. We wish him nothing but the best.”
At Charlton, the mood is one of celebration and renewed optimism. Manager Nathan Jones welcomed Wootton with high praise. “We’ve followed Kyle for a while. He’s a proven goal-scorer, and his experience will be vital as we push toward our goals this season and beyond.”
As Wootton prepares to don the red of Charlton, he leaves behind a legacy of passion, perseverance, and goals that Stockport fans won’t soon forget. The forward’s career now enters a new phase—one that promises challenge, excitement, and the opportunity to etch his name into another club’s history books.
With pre-season on the horizon, all eyes will now be on how quickly Wootton can adapt and deliver in his new surroundings. For both him and Charlton Athletic, a new chapter truly begins.
