Charlton Athletic have confirmed that Greg Docherty has left the club after the transfer window closed.The midfielder was the club captain, but he has left The Valley and is free to find another club.Nathan Jones’ side have made a brilliant start to the season, winning every league matchGettyThe 29-year-old failed to appear in any of Charlton’s opening Championship games.And his game time was likely to further reduce due to the Addicks signing Oliver Skipp on loan.Skipp completed a very late loan switch to Charlton from Leicester City on deadline day, and Docherty has now been released.And in an emotional goodbye, the former skipper said: “To be named captain of such an iconic football club was nothing short of a privilege. I felt the weight and expectation that title carries, but I can wholeheartedly say I gave my absolute all to represent the club properly every single day with the upmost respect that I felt it deserved through the good and the bad moments. “I joined the club with one aim: to help make Charlton an established Championship club again. Being the first captain to lead the club to promotion and then safety the following season is an achievement I am, and always will be, immensely proud of.“Thinking back to the play-off campaign fills me with so much pride. From the first-leg pitch invasion at full time, to seeing 40,000+ red flags and shirts at Wembley and lifting the play-off final trophy, it’s a feeling I don’t think will ever be replicated.“It goes without saying that I am devastated to be leaving this club but football moves fast. I’m so proud of what I achieved here and I leave behind an amazing chapter in my football career, an incredible group of teammates, staff and people behind the scenes who make this club what it is, along with genuine friendships that I’ll cherish for a long time.“I’ll always be grateful for my time at Charlton and everything the club has given me, but football moves fast I’m now excited to see what the future holds.“Thank you for all of your support. It’s been a pleasure.”In total, the Scotsman made 90 appearances for Charlton, joining the club from Hull City in the summer of 2024 for nothing and departs having helped Charlton to promotion to the Championship in his debut season.Docherty became a modern day cult hero at The ValleyGettyOne in, one outThe reason Docherty has been released is largely due to the arrival of Skipp.The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has joined the Addicks on loan for the remainder of the season.Skipp had played a couple of League One games, but he’s now got a chance to impress in the Championship, and Nathan Jones is happy he’s in the building.Speaking to the club’s website, Jones said: “We’re delighted to add Oliver to the squad. Skippy is someone that I’ve known for a long, long time. He’s got top-end Championship experience and Premier League experience. “As soon as I spoke to him, he had a real desire to play for our club and be part of our project. He’s a player with wonderful experience, with wonderful quality. “He’s a real marquee signing for us. It’s the culmination of a long, difficult and testing window, but one we’ve come through with a considerably improved squad. “We have a really competitive Championship squad and I’m excited when we get everyone back, with what we can achieve.”
