Charlie Austin

Charlie Austin

Charlie Austin attacks space and pounces on through-balls, using his 1.88m frame to hold up play as a center-forward. From non-league striker to Burnley record-breaker, Austin climbed through Swindon, Burnley, and QPR. He still leads with instinctive movement. Key moments include breaking Burnley's season goal record in 2012 and a prolific 2014-15 Premier League run with QPR. He earned an England call-up in 2015 and later starred for Southampton. Returning to his hometown Hungerford Town, Charlie Austin anchors the attack as a mentor while keeping finishing moves in the picture. His forward role leans on pinning centre-backs, driving at defenders and checking runs behind. In matches, Charlie Austin gets shots off quickly and helps link play with one-touch layoffs.
