Henry William James Charsley (born 1 November 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League club Oldham Athletic.

[5] He was part of the squad that won the Under-18 Premier League title in the 2013–14 season and scored the only goal of the game against Manchester City in the knockout final at Goodison Park.

[10] He scored on his debut against a senior team in a competitive game on 8 November 2016, in 1–1 draw with Blackpool in the EFL Trophy, which ended in a 5–4 defeat in the penalty shoot-out.

[3] On 12 January 2018, Charsley moved to Championship side Bolton Wanderers on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season, joining Everton compatriot Antonee Robinson at the Macron Stadium.

[17] Charsley made his Bolton Wanderers debut the following day in a 2–0 loss against Brentford, where he started the match before coming off as a substitute in the second-half after playing 55 minutes.

[24] He featured nine times in the second half of the 2019–20 season, which was ended early due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England with Graham Coughlan's side finishing in 21st-place on points per game.

[29] Reflecting on the decision to let him leave the club, manager Nigel Clough said that "it would have been very, very selfish" to insist that he stay at Field Mill when he could not guarantee him much playing time.

[33] He played as a substitute in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium as Vale secured promotion with a 3–0 victory over Mansfield Town; Michael Baggaley of The Sentinel wrote that "[Charsley put in] a typically dynamic performance against his old club".

[34][35] He made ten appearances in the first half of the 2022–23 season, but left the club by mutual consent in January 2023 after securing a deal elsewhere;director of football David Flitcroft said that "Harry's ability in training has been high, but due to the competition in front of him the minutes on the pitch haven't been available".

[36] On 17 January 2023, Charsley joined League Two club Newport County on an 18-month contract; the move reunited him with Graham Coughlan, his former manager at Mansfield.

[42] On 2 July 2024, Charlsley joined National League club Oldham Athletic on a two-year deal after manager Micky Mellon worked hard to tempt him to drop into non-League football.
