Who is Charlie Goode? The ‘remarkable’ free agent who Sheffield Wednesday now want to sign.
Sheffield Wednesday have been linked with a swoop for free agent Charlie Goode.
Sheffield Wednesday are looking to begin their summer transfer business early ahead of next month’s window opening.
The Owls are reportedly eager to snap up Charlie Goode, shortly after he was released by Brentford.
The defender’s game-time has been limited in the English capital and he could now look for a fresh start further down the English pyramid.
Here we break down Goode’s career and what has been said about him…
Charlie Goode career so far
Charlie Goode came through the academy ranks at Fulham before he was released at 16 years old.
The defender – who previously played as both a midfielder and a forward – then dropped all the way down to non-league football with Harefield United.
Goode was then forced to make his way back up again, playing for Hadley, AFC Hayes and Hendon, before getting his big break at Scunthorpe United in League One.
He eventually joined Northampton ad was named their captain as they won the 2020 League Two play-off final, before he was named the Supporters’ Player of the year and was also in the League Two PFA Team of the Year.
Goode’s impressive displays saw him earn his move to Brentford for just over £1 million.
The centre-back never established a regular place in the Bees’ team, making only eight appearances as they won promotion to the top flight.
He has also made six Premier League appearances, but has spent most of his time out on loan since they were promoted.
His time at Blackpool, Sheffield United and Wigan was limited too, making a total of 15 appearances, largely due to injury.
With Goode surplus to requirements, it came as no surprise when he was released by the club and is now searching for a fresh start.
