​Charlie has been fencing for 17 years now and for all of them, MX has been his home club. Charlie trained for many years under Phil, establishing himself as a competitive fencer achieving multiple cadet GB selections before suffering substantial illness towards the end of his final cadet year. Charlie's fencing career got reinvigorated when he attended Queen Mary University. Whilst at university, Charlie refound his competitive streak honed at MX and enjoyed several breakthroughs during this time. Highlights include winning the X-Systra international Student Challenge in Paris, winning the London International University Fencing Championships twice and achieving his first Senior World cup selection. For his efforts leading the development of the University Fencing club, Charlie was also named Queen Mary's Sports person of the year in 2018. To this day, Charlie has represented Great Britain in 6 Senior World Cups and Grand Prixs and remains determined to achieve selection again in the future. Charlie is still an actively competitive fencer and trains most weeknights at the Leon Paul centre as part of the Leon Paul High Performance Project.

Charlie will spend his non-training nights as the latest addition to the MX coaching team. Charlie believes in a hard working approach but never at the expense of enjoyment. He believes that if athletes are enjoying what they are doing and engaging consistently with it then good results will follow naturally in time. Charlie hopes to help preserve the excellent club culture he experienced as an athlete training with Phil whilst also bringing his other experiences to the fore to help take the club forward.
