Dion Charles leaves Huddersfield Town for Blackpool loan
The striker will spent the 2026/27 season back at his former club
Dion Charles will spend the final year of his Huddersfield Town contract out on loan at Blackpool.
The 30-year-old Northern Ireland international arrived at Town from Bolton in January last year, but has struggled to make an impression and has scored just four goals in 55 outings for the club.
Charles came through the ranks at Blackpool’s academy but was released in 2014 without making a senior appearance for the Seasiders.
Town signed Blackpool centre-forward Ashley Fletcher as a free agent earlier this month, and have also sent Alfie May out on loan to Doncaster Rovers.
Huddersfield Town sporting director Chris Markham commented: “Dion joining Blackpool on loan is a move that suits the best interests of everyone involved.
“We could not guarantee Dion minutes in the coming season, and he now has the opportunity for a fresh start.
“For the club, it’s good that we can get this move completed relatively early in the transfer window. It gives us all additional clarity as we look to shape our squad under Martin Drury for the new season.”
Head coach Drury added: “I’d like to wish Dion the very best of luck with his loan move to Blackpool. I’m pleased that we’ve reached a mutually beneficial agreement and hope to see Dion succeed with his loan club.”
