Winger Jayden Fevrier has joined Charlton Athletic on loan from Stockport County until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old makes the move to the Championship after spending the first half of the campaign with Stockport County, bringing an end to his brief spell at Edgeley Park. Fevrier, who previously impressed during his time at Colchester United, will now look to test himself at a higher level with Charlton Athletic.
Speaking to Charlton’s official website following confirmation of the deal, Fevrier admitted the scale of the move had left an impression on him from an early stage.
“The first time I went to The Valley I thought the stadium was massive and it opened my eyes into how big of a club Charlton is, so I’m looking forward to going back there and playing in front of the fans.
He added that discussions with the management team had given him confidence about his role during the loan spell.
“The manager wants me to come in and play my game, take the ball up the pitch, excite people, be me and I’m excited as I have the opportunity to play in the Championship for a massive team.”
Fevrier arrives in south London having built a strong reputation during the 2023–24 season with Colchester. He was one of the U’s most consistent performers during that campaign, featuring in all but two League Two matches and starting 40 league games. His form was recognised with both the club’s Young Player of the Year award and the Hospital Radio Colchester Player of the Year accolade, before his departure in the summer of 2024.
Since leaving Colchester, Fevrier has made more than 50 league and cup appearances for Stockport, gaining further senior experience and continuing his development as a wide player capable of operating on either flank.
Charlton view
Charlton manager Nathan Jones said the club had been tracking the winger for some time and felt the timing was right to bring him in.
“We’ve been watching Jayden for a long time, and with wanting to freshen up certain areas, get cover and competition in certain areas, we feel that Jayden adds that.
Jones also highlighted Fevrier’s adaptability as a key factor in the move.
“He had a wonderful season last year for Stockport. We feel he is a player that can play for us, he is versatile and can play on the left and on the right.”
Charlton managing director Jim Rodwell echoed those sentiments, pointing to the attributes Fevrier is expected to bring during the second half of the season.
“We’re delighted to bring Jayden to the club. He brings real pace and dribbling ability, and his versatility allows him to operate in a number of positions on both the left and right, areas where we were keen to add competition during this transfer window.”
The move offers Fevrier the opportunity to gain Championship experience for the remainder of the campaign, while Charlton add attacking depth as they look to strengthen their squad for the run-in.
Wider impact
The move also forms part of a wider exchange of squad needs between Charlton Athletic and Stockport County. With Fevrier heading to The Valley, Stockport have brought striker Isaac Olaofe back to Edgeley Park on loan, effectively replacing the attacking output lost through Fevrier’s departure.
While the two moves were completed as separate loan deals, they are closely linked in practical terms. Charlton free up space by allowing Olaofe to move on temporarily, enabling them to strengthen out wide, while Stockport address their own attacking needs by reintroducing a forward familiar with the club and its system, leaving both sides better balanced for the remainder of the season.
