Kayne Ramsay became the youngest player to start a Premier League game for Southampton, aged 18 years and 81 days

Charlton Athletic have made their eighth signing of the transfer window after agreeing a permanent deal for Harrogate Town full-back Kayne Ramsay.

Ramsay, 23, has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract at The Valley after 17 months at the Envirovent Stadium.

A Chelsea academy graduate, right-back Ramsay made two Premier League appearances for Southampton, with the last one coming in February 2021.

He joined Harrogate from the Saints in August 2022, playing 61 times in total.

"We're really pleased to bring Kayne to the club," Charlton technical director Andy Scott said.

"He's got really good physical attributes - he's a strong, quick, athletic player who is an excellent one-v-one defender. He's an exciting talent, who has played in the Premier League before and has the potential to grow with the club."
