Charlie has emerged as a valuable member of Newcastle Blue Star’s squad at both u18s and 1st team level, bringing energy and attacking intent from midfield. In the early part of the 2025‑26 season, he featured in key fixtures and was on the scoresheet in a 3‑3 draw with Whitley Bay. Operating in a midfield role, Smith contributes both in link‑up play and in transitions, helping the team push forward while tracking back when required.
