Simon Thomas Charlton (born October 25, 1971 in Huddersfield) is an English footballer, who is currently playing for Oldham Athletic. He is a left-back who can also play as a left-sided central defender or occasionally in midfield.
Charlton began his career at his home-town club Huddersfield Town where he became a firm fans' favourite and played over a hundred games for the Terriers before moving to Premiership side Southampton for £250,000.
From Southampton he was initially loaned to Birmingham City, before making his move permanent in 1998. In 2000, Charlton was transferred to Bolton Wanderers and subsequently moved to Norwich City.
At the end of the 2005-06 season Charlton was released by Norwich City. He left the club under something of a cloud, criticising manager Nigel Worthington in the local newspaper and stating that he believed Worthington had made a scapegoat and an easy target out of him.
His career was revived, however, when he signed a one year deal with Oldham on August 8, 2006. Although on his first appearance he conceded a penalty, which was saved, he also provided a cross for the only goal of the game and was named man of the match.
