Alex Gilbert joins Charlton Athletic on loan

Former Ireland U21 Alex Gilbert (23) has joined League One’s Charlton Athletic on loan from Middlesborough for the remainder of the season. Alex was capped six times at U21 for us and though he has played 10 times for the Boro first team this year he should up his game time considerably at the Addicks. He made his Championship debut for the club against Stoke back in October 2023. Charlton manager Nathan Jones had this to say about the Gilbert:

We’ve been chasing Alex for a while now and we’re really pleased he’s joined us. We believe he has the ability to positively impact the team as he has done a number of times for Middlesbrough in the Championship. He has great quality in the final third, gives us something different in those forward positions and we’re looking forward to watching him in action for Charlton.
