Charlton Athletic hand long-term deal to teenage prospect

Kai Enslin has signed a new contract at Charlton Athletic.

The Addicks have not revealed the length of deal but describe it as “long term”.

Enslin was in the first-team matchday squad for last weekend’s League One home game against Wigan Athletic.

The 19-year-old made his full debut in the EFL Trophy against Bromley in November.

Charlton manager Nathan Jones said: “We’re delighted to secure Kai.

“He’s a player that’s come through the academy and shown that he can handle any situation. He’s been excelling for the U21s and he’s been included in our squads.

“He’s very good technically and he’s a really intelligent footballer who has real versatility. He’s one we’re really excited for.”
