‘He’s an intelligent footballer’ — Charlton Athletic winger Charlie Kirk seals Blackpool loan move
Charlton Athletic winger Charlie Kirk has joined Blackpool on loan for the rest of the season.
There is also an option in the transfer for the Championship side to make it a permanent move.
The 24-year-old was signed by the Addicks in the summer after they triggered a £500,000 release fee in his Crewe contract.
Charlton manager Johnnie Jackson recently told the South London Press he was receptive to allowing Kirk out to get first-team football after struggling to cement a place in his side.
Kirk could make his Blackpool debut at Fulham on Saturday.
Seasiders manager Neil Critchley told BBC Radio Lancashire: “He’s someone I’ve known for a long time from our time at Crewe.
“I’ve spent many a year with Charlie as a young boy and I’ve kept an eye on his development and his career pathway.
“He broke into Crewe’s first-team at a young age and he’s got a lot of experience for a young player.
“He had a great season last season at Crewe in League One and I know what he will bring to us, so I’m delighted he’s joined us.
“I’m looking forward to working with him for the rest of the season.”
“He’s got undoubted quality. If you look at his assists record and goals, he definitely brings something in the final third to the team.
“He makes good decisions around the box, he’s calm, he can link with players around him and he’s got the final pass, which is a priceless commodity.
“He’s a good athlete as well, he can run and he’s got a good history of playing games, so he will add to the way we want to play.
“He’s an intelligent footballer, so he will fit into our system well.”
Kirk told Blackpool’s official website: “I’m happy to be here and get the deal over the line. I’ve played in League One and League Two all my career so to make that next step up to the Championship is something I can’t wait for.
“I grew up working with the gaffer and I know what he’s like, and he obviously knows what I’m like. I’m really looking forward to getting started and helping the team.”

Crewe Alexandra
Kirk came through the Crewe Alexandra Academy, earning a call-up to the senior team whilst still a second year scholar. He made his debut in the Football League on 16 February 2016, in a 2—2 draw with Rochdale at Spotland, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Callum Saunders. He scored his first Crewe goal on 26 December 2017, the second in a 2—0 win at Chesterfield.
In May 2018, after making 69 appearances and scoring five goals, Kirk signed a new three-year-deal with Crewe through to summer 2021. The following season, he scored 11 goals in 45 first-team appearances.
After helping Crewe win promotion to League One in 2020, scoring nine goals and providing more assists than any other League Two player, Kirk signed a new two-year deal with the club through to June 2022. In September 2020, Kirk (along with Crewe team-mate Perry Ng) was named in the PFA League Two Team of the Year for the 2019—20 season.
Charlton Athletic
On 12 August 2021, Kirk was announced to have joined fellow League One side Charlton Athletic for an undisclosed fee on a four-year deal; Charlton had triggered a £500,000 release clause in his Crewe contract; Kirk later said: "I didn't just want to leave and for them [Crewe] not to get anything for me." He made his Charlton debut in the club's 2—1 defeat at Milton Keynes Dons on 17 August and two games later played in the club's first win of the season, 2—0 against former club Crewe Alexandra, on 28 August 2021.

BREAKING: Blackpool sign Charlton winger Charlie Kirk on loan with option to buy
The former Crewe player has long been admired by Neil Critchley
Blackpool have signed Charlton winger Charlie Kirk on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.
The former Crewe man has been out of favour at the London club following the appointment of Johnnie Jackson and has now made the switch to Bloomfield Road.
As we reported yesterday, a loan with an option to buy had been agreed by the Seasiders for the 24-year-old who has made just five starts for the Addicks since his summer switch from Crewe.
Kirk will be known to Neil Critchley through his Crewe connection and because the two faced off in League One last campaign, with his former teammate Owen Dale also joining up this window.
24 goals and 30 assists over his final three seasons for the Alex highlights the quality of end product he has shown on a consistent basis and his arrival has come following the departure of Demetri Mitchell to Scottish Premiership side Hibernian.
Blackpool head coach Critchley said of his new arrival: "He brings that ability to play final passes in the final third which sometimes we've missed, he can do it off either foot.
"His decision making in the final third is very good so if we can get him in the right areas of the pitch then I know he'll produce for us and he's a good athlete as well, a good runner, he can get up and down the pitch.
"So he might just provide something different that we've not got."
Kirk gave his initial reaction on his move to the Fylde Coast: "I’m happy to be here and get the deal over the line. I’ve played in League One and League Two all my career so to make that next step up to the Championship is something I can’t wait for.
“I grew up working with the gaffer and I know what he’s like, and he obviously knows what I’m like. I’m really looking forward to getting started and helping the team.”

It's going to be even more difficult for Kirk and Dale to get game time when Anderson returns from injury.
It's good competition for places at the moment. Anyone who gets a chance knows they have to do everything to take it and establish themselves in the team. | |

Should we take up the option of signing Kirk permanently?
IMO it's a gamble. On one hand he needs to add some agression and intensity to his game - he's well built but doesn't use his physical attributes. On the other hand it's possible that he can be developed into a very good player indeed.
It's all ifs and buts. | |
