Big Conor Coventry update emerges - Charlton Athletic fans are all saying the same thing | OneFootball

Conor Coventry has been a standout performer for Charlton Athletic

Charlton Athletic’s Conor Coventry has seen his strong performances rewarded.

The 25-year-old signed for the Addicks in January 2024 from West Ham United after coming through the Hammers’ academy ranks.

Coventry was instrumental in Charlton’s success last season, playing 52 matches in all competitions as Nathan Jones’ side secured promotion to the Championship via the play-offs.

His ability to conduct play in the middle of the park and carry the ball forward has been worth its weight in gold to the Addicks, who have often relied on his presence in the engine room.

The holding midfielder has carried his strong form into the Championship, starting all nine of Charlton’s second-tier outings at this moment in time.

Despite spending significantly less than Birmingham City and Wrexham in the summer window, Jones’ outfit have been the most competitive side promoted from League One thus far.

They sit 13th in the table after nine matches, three places clear of Blues and five ahead of the Red Dragons. This signifies how good a job Charlton are doing with their resources and how well players such as Coventry have risen to the challenge of Championship football.

The 25-year-old’s performances in recent times haven’t gone unnoticed and have now led to him achieving recognition on the international level.

Charlton Athletic supporters in full agreement over Conor Coventry decision

Following Josh Cullen’s suspension, Coventry has been called up to the Republic of Ireland National Team squad for their 2026 World Cup qualifier with Armenia.

The 25-year-old has a rich history within the nation’s youth tanks, winning the Football Association of Ireland’s U21s Player of the Year accolade in 2021 after captaining the side to their first-ever UEFA European Championships play-off and is the Republic of Ireland's all-time record holder for U21 international appearances, earning 28 caps.

He received his first senior international call-up in March 2021 and is now part of the Republic’s latest camp.

Following this news, Charlton supporters have reacted in agreement over the decision, quick to praise one of their standout stars.

“Well deserved!” exclaimed one fan. “Shouldn’t of come down to an injury for him to be called up tho.”

“Thoroughly deserved, well done mate,” another complimented. “Another international in our ranks.”

Some were less thrilled to hear about this decision, wary that any potential misfortune could come back to bite Charlton.

“Fully deserved, please don’t get injured!!!” pleaded the fan.

This moment also opened the door for further praise to be heaped upon Coventry, which the Addicks’ faithful gladly participated in.

“Best midfielder in the championship at this time,” claimed a supporter.

“Fully deserved,” said another. “Great player.”

Conor Coventry’s Ireland call-up highlights how well he is playing

Achieving a call-up to play international football is no small feat, so Coventry’s recent recognition from the Republic of Ireland highlights just how well he is performing.

The 25-year-old has been one of the Championship’s best midfielders this season, impressively bridging the gap between League One and the second-tier with relative ease.

If Coventry keeps playing at a similar level, he may soon become a regular fixture for his nation, further increasing how valuable an asset Charlton have in their ranks.
