Charlton Athletic captain Skeels signs new deal

Charlton Athletic captain Kiera Skeels has signed a new two-year contract with the club.

The Addicks announced the news via a post on their official club website this morning.

The 23-year-old centre-back joined Charlton Athletic in summer 2021 after leaving former club Reading. The player has gone on to make more than 100 appearances for The Addicks in all competitions. Skeels has been a member of Charlton Athletic sides that have pushed for promotion in recent seasons.

Skeels is a key member of the Charlton Athletic back-line and the club have therefore moved to retain her services for an extended period.

After signing on again at The Valley, Skeels said “To be a captain of a club like Charlton, it’s an honour. Over the last four seasons, I have enjoyed my time so much. As a team, we have progressed and I really feel like I want to be part of it for the next two seasons.

“Going into the season, there are three [promotion] spaces up for grabs and as a team, we will try our best to be part of that.”

Skeels follows Gloria Siber, Karin Muya and Elisha N’Dow in signing a new contract with Charlton Athletic in recent days.
