It’s no disrespect toward Charlton Athletic striker Miles Leaburn, but Alfie May has delivered a standout season
Charlton Athletic fans have plenty to cheer about this season, with Alfie May cementing his place as one of the standout performers in League One. While young talent Miles Leaburn continues to impress with his potential and contributions, it’s May who has stolen the spotlight with a string of exceptional displays that have propelled Charlton’s campaign.
The 30-year-old forward, who joined the Addicks in the summer, has been a revelation. May’s clinical finishing, relentless work rate, and ability to deliver in crucial moments have made him a fan favorite at The Valley. With over a dozen goals already this season, he’s the driving force behind Charlton’s push for a playoff spot.
“It’s no slight to Miles, who’s a fantastic young player with a bright future ahead of him, but Alfie has been sensational,” said head coach Michael Appleton. “His experience, leadership, and consistency have been invaluable to the team. He’s been the player we can rely on when it matters most.”
Leaburn, 20, has continued his development this season, showing glimpses of his enormous potential. His partnership with May has been a key aspect of Charlton’s attacking threat, with the duo combining for several crucial goals. Despite the comparisons, there’s no doubt that Leaburn is learning from May, who has become a mentor both on and off the pitch.
For May, the focus remains on the team’s success. “I’m just doing my job,” he said humbly after his recent match-winning performance. “This is a team effort, and we’re all working toward the same goal. Miles is a great player, and I’m just trying to help the team however I can.”
Charlton fans are thrilled to see the blend of youth and experience paying dividends. While Leaburn represents the future, May is the seasoned star leading the way in the present. With both players contributing, the Addicks are in strong contention to make this a memorable season.
As the season progresses, Charlton supporters will be hoping May can maintain his incredible form while Leaburn continues to grow into the star he’s destined to be. Together, they are giving fans plenty of reasons to dream big.
