Spurs defender Pearse loaned to Charlton Athletic | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur defender Gracie Pearse has joined Barclays Women’s Championship club Charlton Athletic on loan until the end of the season.

The Addicks announced the news via a post on their official club website this evening.

Pearse broke into the Spurs squad in the first half of last season before being sent out on loan to Bristol City to gain more experience. The 21-year-old spent the second half of the 2022/2023 campaign with The Robins, helping them to get over the line and win the Barclays Women’s Championship title. Pearse has struggled to force her way into new Spurs head coach Robert Vilahamn’s plans this season and she will now spend the rest of the campaign with Charlton Athletic.

After joining The Addicks, Pearse said “I’m really excited to get started and to meet all of the girls properly.

“For me, I’ve always known that Charlton are a good side and an ambitious side so I definitely think that’s a key thing that brought me to be here.

“I’m quite a confident player on the ball, especially with my feet I’m quite composed and like to drive forward and to find pockets in the midfield.”

Pearse becomes Charlton Athletic’s second signing in the January transfer window.
