FORMER Charlton Athletic striker Alfie May has left Birmingham City for Huddersfield Town for an undisclosed fee.
May, 32, left the Addicks for Blues last summer in a £775,000 deal and scored seventeen goals in 57 appearances in all competitions, including the first in the win at Peterborough United that clinched promotion for Chris Davies’ League One winners.
May joined Charlton from Cheltenham Town for £225,000 in the summer of 2023 and scored 27 goals in 50 games in his only season at The Valley.
Huddersfield finished tenth in League One last season and are going into a first campaign under new manager Lee Grant. May is their tenth signing this summer.
On the Terriers’ official website, May said: “It’s no secret that this is a club that I’ve come close to joining in the past, and I’m really pleased the opportunity has come again to become a Town player.
“This is a huge club with massive ambition, and that’s all any player wants to feel a part of. I was in a team last season that felt similarly, so I know what’s possible when a squad clicks with a Manager and there’s a positive feeling across the whole club, and that’s something I recognise here.
“My job is to work as hard as possible and score goals, and I’ll do everything in my power to repay the faith the Club has shown in me. Lee Grant is an exciting manager and the way he wants to play and attack feels like the right fit for me, so I can’t wait to get going.”
Grant added: “Alfie is a natural goalscorer with a formidable record in recent years, so we’re really pleased to bring him into the group ahead of the new season kicking off.
“He has a strong mentality, an infectious personality and is full of belief, and those are the hallmarks of all successful strikers. His skillset is different to what we already have in the squad and he compliments the players that he’ll be featuring alongside well, so we look forward to having the opportunity to get straight down to work with him this week.
“Alfie is another player we’ve introduced to the squad this summer that knows what’s required to be successful at the right end of this division, and that experience will be invaluable across the course of the season.”
