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.

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.
Wishing Micah a long, successful career at our club.
Notice that Apples is with him in the Contract signing photo, where is Steve Avory?
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.
Don't want to get too carried away on (part of) one game but NJ is clearly very impressed which is a good sign.
Be patient with him though. In the u21 streams I saw earlier this season his touch, hold up play and composure in front could be inconsistent. As we’ve seen with Leaburn a young powerful striker can look unstoppable in one game and struggle in the next.
The potential is there and in NJ and the coaches we have the set up to help him develop and know when to involve him in the first team.
Looking forward to seeing more of him, wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a few more first team appearances to come this season.
“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
If he goes on to have a good career it’ll be all down 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
Micah Mbick
His a massive unit
And hes fucking Quick
Mbick, whoah
Mbick's completely dench
He's brought on ahead of Ahadme from the bench.
He'll hit you like a brick
He's very fucking quick
Mbick Mbick
Oooo Micah Mbiiiiiick
Ooooo Micah Mbiiiiiick
(repeat)
short and sweet
