Luke Bowler Charman (born 9 December 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for National League club Hartlepool United.
[22] 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.
[28][24] Charman was keen to return to full-time football, and his club's refusal to accept an offer from a National League team had led to "tough conversations" with the player.
[29] 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.
[30] 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.
[34][35] 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.
[36][37] On 5 June 2024, it was announced that Charman would sign for National League club Hartlepool United once his existing contract with AFC Fylde expired at the end of the month.
