Charlton Athletic is set to part ways with five players as their contracts expire at the end of this month. The club recently announced the departures of Emma Bissell, Frankie Finlayson, Karin Muya, Gracie Pearse, and Amalie Thestrup. This comes after Charlton's successful campaign that saw them achieve promotion to the Barclays Women’s Super League. Bissell, Muya, Pearse, and Thestrup collectively scored ten league goals, playing a crucial role in the club's promotion. Bissell was notably the third-highest performer in terms of goals and assists for the 2025/2026 season. Finlayson, a product of the Charlton Athletic academy, is looking for more playing time in the upcoming seasons. Head coach Karen Hills expressed gratitude for the contributions of the departing players, highlighting their impact on the team and the club's success. As Charlton prepares for the next chapter in the Women’s Super League, the departures mark a significant transition for the squad.
