In the Teqball Tournament, two duos from Ajax U23 compete against each other. In this third episode: Jaydon Banel and Charlie Setford opposite Raphaël Sarfo and Rida Chahid. "You should become a striker."
To many Ajax fans, the name ‘Setford’ does not sound like a new last name in the youth academy anymore. While Charlie regularly plays for Ajax U23, his younger brother Tommy is pursuing his career at Ajax U18. Born in Haarlem, the goalkeeper slowly followed in his brother’s footsteps and represented England’s U17 team during the World Cup in Indonesia.
Ajax and Charlie Setford have reached an agreement on the extension of his contract, which ran until June 30, 2023. The new contract of the 19-year-old goalkeeper will run until June 30, 2027.
