Charlie George Caton (born 25 November 2002) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League Two club Accrington Stanley.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

He is the son of longstanding Bala Town manager Colin Caton.[2]

Caton attended Ysgol Brynhyfryd in Ruthin, Denbighshire.[3]

Career

[edit | edit source]

In December 2018 Caton was called up for the Welsh Schools FA under-18 training camp in Cardiff. At the time he played for Wrexham under-16s, as well as Llangynhafal in the local Llandyrnog & District Summer League.[4] In February 2019 he scored for the Wales schoolboys team in a match against Greece.[5]

Shrewsbury Town

[edit | edit source]

Having started his career with the Wrexham academy, Caton joined Shrewsbury Town as a first-year scholar in 2019.[6][7] On 10 November 2020, Caton made his first-team debut from the bench in a 4–3 EFL Trophy victory over Crewe Alexandra.[8] Having made a total of five appearances over the course of the 2020–21 season, including three in League One, he signed a new two-year contract in June 2021.[7]

In November 2022, Caton joined National League North club Chester on an initial one-month loan deal.[9] Following an impressive start to his spell, the deal was first extended by a further month,[10] then subsequently extended until the end of the season.[11]

Following the conclusion of the 2022–23 season, it was confirmed Caton would depart the club upon the expiration of his contract.[12]

Chester

[edit | edit source]

On 27 May 2023, Caton returned to Chester on a permanent two-year deal following his successful loan spell the previous season.[13][14]

Following a strong start to the 2024–25 season, Caton was named National League North Player of the Month for August 2024.[15]

Accrington Stanley

[edit | edit source]

On 16 January 2025, Caton signed for League Two club Accrington Stanley on a two-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee.[16]
