Club career
Huddersfield Town
Charles was born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire.[1] He began to play football when he was three and joined Battyeford Juniors and Garforth Villa's youth academy before joining Huddersfield Town's U11 side when he was 10.[3]
Having progressed through the academy, Charles signed his first professional contract with the club on 28 February 2013[4] and started his first years scholars.[5] With his contract set to expire at the end of the 2013–14 season, Charles signed a contract extension, keeping him until 2017.[6] Throughout 2013–14, Charles was honoured by the League Football Education[7] and was nominated for the League Football Education's Championship Apprentice of the Year, but lost out to Mason Bennett of Derby County.[8]
After appearing as unused substitute against Norwich City on 17 March 2015 for the first time,[9] Charles made his first-team debut for Huddersfield Town as an 87th-minute substitute in a 2–0 Championship defeat by Fulham.[10] Later in the 2014–15 season Charles scored twice for the Huddersfield Town under-21 team as they beat Crystal Palace under-21s to seal a place in the Professional Development League 2 play-off Final.[11]
