Mbick, who joined the club’s esteemed academy as an U10, recently scored just three minutes into his senior debut, completing the scoring in the Addicks’ 6-1 win at Cray Valley PM in the Emirates FA Cup.

The 17-year-old forward has netted 12 goals in 13 games for Charlton’s U18s and U21s so far this season.

  • Good news. Appleton clearly rates him, the way he's come out of nowhere into first team contention.

    Bit silly that the article doesn't give the contract length though.

    Always annoys me when they don't give contract lengths , it's a pretty easy thing to do. 
  • Great stuff ! 

    Wishing Micah a long, successful career at our club.

    Thats a relief - Always worries me a little these days when we give First Team appearances to kids not under Contract.

    Notice that Apples is with him in the Contract signing photo, where is Steve Avory?
  • Nice one. Looks decent.  Given our best young attacking players have always left before signing (Defoe, Palmer and others) then to have Leaburn, Kanu, Casey and M'bick all sign is pretty impressive.  4 young forward prospects, would hope at least 2 really kick on.
  • Just when young slobodan thought he was in the clear as our main forward, Kanu gets recalled and now this.

    Should surge us into an automatic promotion spot!

    Just turned 17 a month or so ago.
    If he is going to continue growing physically he is going to be quite a presence.
    However there is a huge amount of development to come, I hope it goes brilliantly.

    One of the deepest voices I’ve ever heard from a 17 year old

    Deserves his own thread bumped after yesterday. 

    For a player his age, to be out injured as much as he has this season, for a manager to believe in him for the first team at this stage in the season.

    With his build, mobility and touch he will be an apt replacement for Aneke, hopefully his injury problems are behind him though.

    He's definitely got a similar vibe, a big lad whose not afraid to mix it up but with very decent skills/technique besides. 

    Don't want to get too carried away on (part of) one game but NJ is clearly very impressed which is a good sign.

    “Mbick (Charlton Song)”

    (To the tune of “MMMBop by Hanson”)


    [Verse]

    Down at The Valley, we stand proud

    Red and white, we sing out loud

    From Jimmy Seed to modern day

    The Addicks fight, come what may


    [Chorus]

    Mbick, ba duba dop

    Ba du bop, ba duba dop

    Ba du bop, ba duba dop

    Ba du

    Mbick, come rain or sun

    We won’t stop ’til the match is won

    Charlton’s heart will carry on

    That’s true


    [Chorus – Repeat]

    Mbick, ba duba dop

    Ba du bop, ba duba dop

    Ba du bop, ba duba dop

    Ba du

    Mbick, come rain or sun

    We won’t stop ’til the match is won

    Charlton’s heart will carry on

    That’s true

    Great credit to the lad (and also Charlton's medical and conditioning teams) for being fit enough to play for the first team after his long injury layoff.

    He looks like an absolute unit - I wonder if like Leaburn it will lead to him picking up niggles and strains?

    Earlier this season at a game at Dartford towards the end he was near to me at the side of the pitch. I said ‘You’ve played well Micah’ to which he gave me a subtle thumbs up.
    If he goes on to have a good career it’ll be all down to me.

    He pulled a high ball down yesterday with a lovely touch and tricked a defender or two….. great technique. Small cameo but didn’t  look out of place at all…… looking forward to seeing more of him

    This is chat gtps offering to me

    to the tune of when the saints go marching in

    oh, Micah Mbick, he’s our centre forward
    he’s gonna score, win it for Charlton 
    with the ball at his feet, defenders can’t compete
    Micah Mbick, he’s king of the beat

    oh, Micah Mbick, he’s our man
    he’s the one who leads us to the promised land
    he’ll put the ball in the back of the net
    Micah Mbick, charltons finest yet

    Probably best if we rip of another generic chant being sung by 50 other clubs
