Charlton Athletic has decided to extend Miles Leaburn’s contract by 12 months, ensuring that the young striker will remain with the club until the summer of 2026. This decision comes after Leaburn’s impressive performance in Tuesday’s 3-0 victory over Chelsea in the EFL Trophy, where he scored two goals.
Manager Nathan Jones has also revealed that the club is in talks to secure a longer-term deal for the 20-year-old player. Despite attracting interest from Premier League clubs like Brentford before his injury, Charlton is keen on keeping Leaburn for the long haul.
“We are working on offering Miles a new contract to secure his future with the club,” Jones stated in an interview with the South London Press. “By extending his current deal, we want to show him how important he is to us and ensure that he can focus on his recovery and development without any uncertainties.”
Leaburn recently returned to action after recovering from a hamstring injury, and the club is taking a cautious approach to his return to ensure his long-term success. With his young age and potential, Charlton is dedicated to nurturing his talent and helping him reach his full potential on the pitch.
“We believe in Miles’s abilities and are committed to helping him grow as a player. He still has a lot to learn and improve on, but we are confident that with the right guidance and support, he can become a key player for us in the future,” Jones added.
The club’s decision to extend Leaburn’s contract shows their faith in his talent and their commitment to building a strong team for the seasons to come. As Leaburn continues to impress on the field, Charlton fans can look forward to seeing more of his skills and goals in the upcoming matches.
