Charlton Athletic are delighted to announce a partnership with leading Jamaican football academy Mount Pleasant, with the long-term aim of further improving the quantity of elite players graduating from the Addicks' esteemed academy.
Not surprising given we were rumoured to be interested in Trivante Stewart, who was with them, yet decided to join Salernitana in Serie A over the summer.

4 sub appearances, 95 mins played, no goals, for anyone interested!

Hasn't played more than 35mins in a game either - Not surprising given the jump in level he's made
I get the cynicism giving our current position and previous tie ups but if another league 1 club, such as Peterborough, had announced this some would be saying "why aren't Charlton doing things like this?"
I do think that this wasn't the marquee announcement the board were hoping to make before tonight's meeting but it might get us a decent player or two.

Too many appearances made there to suit us on loan.
Really interesting article, good insight on what the academy are trying to achieve.
I particularly liked this part
"Dan Mahoney and his analysis team did a fantastic job of showing us clips of the boys at half-time around how we need to defend higher and be more aggressive with our backline. That was such an important lesson for the boys. Sometimes you want them to fail and get it wrong so they can learn from it. We're all really pleased with how well they applied that information from half-time into the second half and were dominant. They dealt with Mount Pleasant’s transition and counter attack much better.”
Shows, rightly, that it's not all about winning but about developing them as players and as a team.
Also illustrates how the club, along with many others, use technology even at that level as part of their coaching. That's an investment in non-coaching staff and tech being used to improve players.

Also thought the way he spoke about tactics was very similar to how NJ says he likes to play which is very positive
