Charlton announced Greg Docherty's departure today and the 29-year-old Scottish midfielder becomes a free agent, meaning he can wait until after the transfer deadline before choosing his next move. Greg Docherty said that he will always be grateful for his time at Charlton and for everything the club has given him, but that football moves fast and he is now excited to see what the future holds. Manager Nathan Jones said the tough thing is that they want to evolve and improve on every level, and it meant that Doc’s game time was probably going to be more limited than he wanted. Jones stated that they had open conversations about that and felt that this was the best way forward. He described Doc as an inspirational captain who has been wonderful to deal with every day, and said he cannot speak highly enough of him. Jones also said he leaves the club with a great deal of respect, with their thanks and their gratitude, and with a real heavy heart because they are going to miss him. The former Scotland U21 international has a current market value of €800k, according to Transfermarkt.
