Charlton Athletic confirm defender exit with striker’s deal also expiring

Charlton Athletic have confirmed that Dan Potts has departed the club following the expiration of his contract. 

The 30-year-old joined the Addicks on a short-term deal in September 2024 having made 165 appearances under Nathan Jones at Luton Town previously. 

Potts featured three times for Charlton and played a key role in driving the men’s first-team environment at Sparrows Lane. 

Manager Nathan Jones said: “Dan came in and made a difference in helping us establish our culture. We’re grateful for the positive impact he’s had on the environment and wish him the best for the future.” 

The Addicks also confirmed that Danny Hylton’s contract with the club has now expired and he will continue to train with the squad. 

Jones added: “Danny Hylton has been really important in developing that culture and supporting the development of our young strikers, with his experience proving invaluable. 

“He will continue to train with us and we’ll assess the situation again after the transfer window has closed.”
