27-goal attacker departs Stafford Rangers

Stafford Rangers has announced that a prolific attacker has left the club on amicable terms to join a National League North outfit.

Jake Charles leaves Marston Road to join Farsley Celtic, who are located closer to his Leeds home.

The 24-year-old joined Boro in October 2018, going on to net 27 times in 71 appearances for the Northern Premier League side.

Charles, came through the ranks at Huddersfield Town and has gone on to sign for the likes of Barnsley and York City, making his league debut in 2015.

He was also chosen to play for Wales at under 17, 19 and 21 level, representing his country just as his grandfather, the great late John Charles CBE – who played for the likes of Leeds United and Juventus – did.

Charles gave Boro fans many a joyous moment during his spell with the club

A spokesperson for Stafford Rangers said: “We can announce that Jake Charles will be joining Farsley Celtic, in Vanarama National League North.

“With the club being a few miles from Jake’s Leeds home and being a division higher, the decision was quite a draw, especially in the current climate.

“Although Jake’s contract with Rangers had expired, Farsley had the decency to approach us for permission to speak with Jake, so we thank them for their conduct over the matter and we wish Jake the very best for the future and thank him for his service.

“27 goals in 71 appearances made Jake a favourite with many fans. All the best, Jake!”

Charles’ exit follows the departure of four other Boro players this week.
