“Charlie is a valuable presence to us on and off the pitch,” said Tommy Wheeldon Jr., Head Coach and General Manager, Cavalry FC. “He is very good at starting our attacks from within our half and very important in the manner he breaks up the opponent’s attacks with his physicality and intelligence. On top of that, he is a person that cares about the city he is from, and it shows in the way he plays for our crest and his daily habits with the group as an emotional leader.”
