Charlton Athletic sign Chelsea defender Humphries on loan | OneFootball

Charlton Athletic have completed the signing of Chelsea defender Greta Humphries on a loan deal until the end of the season.

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

The 19-year-old joins The Addicks off the back of spending the first half of the season on loan at Bristol City. Humphries made seven appearances for The Robins in all competitions.

At the halfway point in the season, parent club Chelsea opted to recall Humphries from her loan spell at Ashton Gate and The Blues have now allowed the player to join Charlton Athletic on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

After sealing her loan move to The Valley, Humphries said “I’m really excited and happy to have put pen to paper. I am excited to get started and play some really important games.

“It’s been really nice getting to know all the girls, getting to know the staff and the environment’s lovely. Everyone is very unified and I think that’s so important, not just within the team but within the club.”

Humphries is Charlton Athletic’s first signing of the January transfer window.
