Stevenage made a notable acquisition by bringing in defender Charlie Goode after his departure from Brentford, as confirmed by their official club platform. The 28-year-old center-back joined Stevenage on a free transfer in preparation for the upcoming League One campaign following his release from Brentford at the conclusion of the previous season, as they opted not to retain him. Goode, who had been mulling over his choices and was linked with Sheffield Wednesday, finalized a one-year deal with Stevenage, with the possibility of extending for another year.
Alex Revell, the manager at Stevenage, expressed his satisfaction with the signing, highlighting Goode’s resilience through past challenges and his competence on the field. Goode’s recent loan spell at Wigan Athletic in League One has provided him with game time and match fitness, which Stevenage aims to leverage as they fortify their defensive line post Finley Burns’ departure.
Having started his professional career at Northampton Town before moving on to Brentford, where he faced limited playing time, Goode views his new chapter at Stevenage as an opportunity for revitalization and regular football action. Despite interests from clubs like Sheffield Wednesday, Goode’s focus now lies on making significant contributions to Stevenage as he embarks on this fresh start in Hertfordshire.
