U16s captain Jacob Safa received the Steve Clarke Trophy on Friday evening and was presented with his award ahead of the U18s' 5-1 win over Sheffield United at The Valley.

Safa became the second winner of the accolade after Henry Rylah picked up the trophy last year, for his outstanding progress as an U16.

    What's the Steve Clarke Trophy?

    Steve Clarke was a much loved and revered Charlton supporter for over fifty years, who died in September 2020. He was a Valley Party candidate, chair of the supporters club, the first Charlton supporter director and latterly he was chair of Charlton Athletic Supporters' Trust (CAST).

    After his untimely death, the CAST board decided to commemorate him by making an annual award in his name to a young player at Charlton Athletic.

    The award criteria were based on the EFL Apprentice of the Year award that Jordan Cousins, Ademola Lookman and, most recently, Deji Elerewe and Zach Mitchell achieved:

    • Contribution to the team performance

    • Consistent individual performance and progress

    • Outstanding personal qualities that contribute to and develop team ethic and togetherness

    • Educational achievements in the football scholarship
