Shea Charles, born on 5 November 2003 (age 22), is a Northern Ireland defensive midfielder now with Fulham, where he wears squad number 19.
His club career has been shaped mainly at Southampton. Across two seasons there he made 63 league appearances and scored three league goals, with his most productive campaign coming in 2025-26, when he scored three times in 31 league matches. That is the substantial part of his senior record so far.
At Fulham in 2026-27, Charles has made five Premier League appearances, two in the FA Cup, scoring once, and two in the League Cup – nine appearances and one goal in all competitions. He has also remained involved with Northern Ireland, appearing five times in European World Cup qualifying, with one goal, and four times in the Nations League, also scoring once.
Charles is still in the developing stage of his career, but the shape of it is clear enough: Southampton gave him his main platform, Fulham is his current step, and Northern Ireland have continued to use him regularly.
