Charlton Athletic defender Macaulay Gillesphey has signed a new two-year contract with the Championship club.

The 29-year-old joined the Addicks from Plymouth in January 2024 and his new deal includes the option of a further 12 months.

Gillesphey, who started his career at Newcastle, made 54 appearances in all competitions for Charlton last season, scoring six goals – including the winner against Leyton Orient in the League One play-off final.

“I feel the club’s going in the right direction and I’ve enjoyed every minute so far, obviously getting promoted through the play-offs was an incredible experience,” he told the club website.

“I just can’t wait to get going with the new season at The Valley in front of all our fans again.”

Charlton will open their Championship season at home to Watford on 9 August.
