+++ Charlton complete Tanto Olaofe signing +++

Charlton Athletic are delighted to confirm the permanent signing of striker Tanto Olaofe from Stockport County for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old was a crucial part of the Stockport side that finished third in Sky Bet League One last season, scoring 12 goals and registering four assists. Prior to that he netted 21 goals in County’s promotion-winning 2023/24 campaign.

Olaofe, who has signed a three-year contract with a club option of an additional year, becomes the Addicks' third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Sonny Carey and Thomas Kaminski.

After putting pen to paper, the forward said: "It's a great feeling. There's a great atmosphere at The Valley so I'm looking forward to playing there. Hopefully I can help elevate the team in the right direction because the current trajectory is a very good one."

Manager Nathan Jones added: "We’re really happy to sign Tanto. He fits everything we want to do here in terms of his profile - he’s young, hungry, athletic and he wants to play at the next level. He’s one that will continue to get better. He’s had a real good time at Stockport and we felt it was the right time to bring him in. He’s someone we’re really excited about."

The Lewisham-born striker joined Millwall at the age of 14 and made his professional debut in the first of three successful loan spells at Sutton United, where he lifted the National League title after netting 16 goals during their promotion season. He also enjoyed a temporary switch to Scottish side St Johnstone and featured three times for Millwall's first-team before joining Stockport in 2023.

  • Excellent - this is all very promising 
  • Very happy with this. Welcome aboard Tanto.
  • big, strong and quick, fits the NJ mould perfectly.

    Born Lewisham and raised in Dartford - won't have any issues settling into his new surroundings
    Famewo next then
  • Bit of a wobble on Friday, I heard, after the signing leaked,

    Deal was agreed but not done but leak notified another club who tried to hijack the deal.

    Thankfully, Tanto was set on joining us so all's well that ends well.
    another champ club??

  • Looks to perfectly fit the mould of a Nathan Jones striker , the only striker that really caused Kayne any real problems too. 

    Kudos to the owners too for backing NJ with what looks to be a pretty substantial budget too. 
  • Another signing where I can't really see a negative. Missed one high profile chance last season but his stats are generally quite good and he loves running at defenders. He's like a more direct TC with experience that TC can hopefully learn from. Effectively a four year deal too which protects us if he's a success
  • looks a great signing, fingers crossed he can chip in with 15+ goals ideally

    Probably Chelsea, they need a new striker..........
    They must be down to their last 15.
  • This is clearly what was being filmed in the shaky Twitter video

  • Another very promising signing for a reasonably hefty fee.
    Owners backing NJ = really exciting times. 
  • Olaofe is the only player I can remember giving Ramsay problems last season. Happy with the signings so far!
  • A big lad who presses and works hard and chips in with a decent amount of goals - a classic Nathan jones signing. 
  • Welcome Tanto hope to see you score many goals especially against Millwall.
