Charles Clayden: Worthing FC’s Dynamic Left Wingback Addition

Worthing FC have strengthened their defensive and attacking options with the signing of Charles Clayden, a 24-year-old left wingback, arriving on a free transfer from Boreham Wood.

Clayden is a quick, energetic full-back, renowned for his ability to bomb forward, deliver dangerous crosses, and maintain defensive solidity. His excellent stamina and agility allow him to cover ground effortlessly, making him a perfect fit for Jay Hallam’s high-tempo system.

Having gained experience at National League level, Clayden brings a blend of technical ability and tactical awareness, ensuring he can contribute effectively both defensively and offensively. He’s confident in one-on-one battles, providing defensive resilience while also offering an attacking outlet on the left flank.

Hallam praised Clayden’s versatility and impact on the squad:
"Charles is a fantastic addition to the team—he’s got pace, intelligence, and the ability to drive forward from deep positions. He fits the way we want to play, and I know he’ll be a key figure for us this season."

As Worthing prepare for their first National League campaign, Clayden’s arrival ensures they have a reliable presence on the left wing, capable of influencing the game at both ends of the pitch.

Could he become Worthing’s go-to full-back this season? Time to find out.
