Dion Charles Explain why his want to leave Bolton Wanderers of Aston Villa,

I really enjoyed it. Hibs was tough because I did not play as much as I would like under Terry Butcher and the club was relegated to the Scottish Championship during my time there.

“However, Edinburgh was a beautiful city to live in and the Hibs fans always backed the team even during difficult moments.

“My time at Airdrieonians was an experience that I enjoyed because I played many games under Kevin McBride when he was in charge of the club.

“We had a good team and we were unlucky not to do better in the playoffs when we reached them and lost to Alloa.

“The only frustrating thing for me in that season was Kevin McBride leaving as manager and being replaced by Mark Wilson who did not play me as much as Kevin did.

“Despite that, playing at Airdrieonians was a good experience.”

You returned to English football during the COVID-19 pandemic to play for Welling United. What was that experience like in the National League South?

“I was set to join a club in Hong Kong which I was excited about but due to the pandemic, I was unable to move there with the travel restrictions that everyone lived under at the time.

“That meant that I needed to find a club to stay sharp during the pandemic which is why I joined Welling United.

“It was also my first experience of playing part-time football which was an eye-opener for me. I played part-time football with a full-time mindset so I had to adapt to my new surroundings which was tough mentally at first.

“Since playing part-time, I have founded my own football coaching business to complement my career called Daring Ballers.

“We train kids of all ages and provide one-to-one sessions or group sessions depending on what is required.

“I enjoy coaching and sharing my experiences with the youngsters who dream of playing the game at professional level one day.”
