Luke Charman

Darlington On 14 July 2020, Charman joined National League North side Darlington on a free transfer. He made his debut in the first match of the season, and scored both his side's goals in a 2–2 draw with Prescot Cables in the FA Cup, but had been substituted by the time Darlington won the tie on penalties. He made six appearances in the National League North without scoring, by which time the season had been abandoned because of issues surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Charman signed a new two-year contract in July 2021, his fitness improved, and he scored freely during the first half of the season, with 12 goals from 16 league appearances.

Rochdale Amid interest from clubs including Bradford City and Hartlepool United, Charman signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Rochdale of League Two on 20 January 2022; the fee was undisclosed. After completing a four-match suspension imposed for a second sending-off while at Darlington, Charman made his Rochdale and Football League debut on 1 February, replacing Alex Newby after 58 minutes of a 1–1 draw away to Colchester United. Charman finally scored for Rochdale on 30 April, with two goals in the first 17 minutes of the match at home to Bristol Rovers, but the match ended as a 4–3 defeat. After a brief substitute appearance in the opening match of the 2022–23 season, a hamstring injury was to keep him out for some time.

AFC Fylde Charman left Rochdale on 14 October to sign a two-year contract with National League North club AFC Fylde, who paid an undisclosed club-record fee for his services. He won the National League North title with the club at the end of the 2022–23 season. He made his competitive debut for Hartlepool in the opening match of the 2024–25 season, a 1–0 victory against Yeovil Town. On 5 October, he scored his first Hartlepool goal in a 4–3 home win against Sutton United. He registered three assists in a 4–3 away win against Solihull Moors on 23 November. In his first season with the club, Charman made 43 appearances, scoring 4 times. He made 26 appearances during the season, scoring three goals and contributing four assists. In pre-season of the 2026–27 season, Charman suffered a strain to his medial collateral ligament which ruled him out for six to eight weeks, less than initially feared.
