Charlton confirm Lavelle exit – with League One side landing defender
Charlton Athletic have confirmed that Sam Lavelle has completed his permanent switch to League One side Carlise United.
The 26-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Burton Albion, made 41 appearances in all competitions during his time at The Valley after joining from Morecambe in August 2021.
Charlton have handed new deals to Terell Thomas and Michael Hector. And centre-back Lloyd Jones has also arrived from Cambridge on a free.
Carlisle won promotion to League One last season following their penalty shootout win over Stockport in the League Two play-off final.
Manager Dean Holden said: “Sam had a tough season last year with an injury that ended his season and he wants to get back to playing regularly.
“We have some very promising young centre-backs at the club, in addition to the experience of Michael Hector, Lloyd Jones and Terell Thomas, so Sam was unlikely to get that regular football he wants to be playing. The move to Carlisle gives him that and frees up space for us.
“He’ll always have a place in the Charlton history books for his winning penalty against Brighton at The Valley. He’s a fantastic person who gave his all for Charlton during his time here and everyone at the club wishes him the best for the future.”
