The 20-year-old impressed during the final stretch of the 2024/25 season, earning praise not just for his shot-stopping, but also for his calm distribution—a trait refined during his early days at Manchester City. Having already made his senior debut for Northern Ireland, Charles is emerging as a bright prospect, and many within the club see him as a potential long-term solution between the posts. However, fan pundit Patrick McKenna urges caution: “He’s a real asset, but we need to develop him properly. He will make mistakes—we have to support him through those moments if we want him to thrive.”
