[6] He was a championship winning defender in the 2007–08 season, [7] and in recognition of this feat he was named in the Conference Premier team of the year along with Aldershot's Nikki Bull, Ben Harding, Lewis Chalmers and John Grant. [8] At the end of the 2007–08 season, Charles signed a new two-year contract. [9] Charles was a regular starter for Aldershot Town, in their first season back in the Football League and he was rewarded with a double award by winning the Supporters Club Player of the Season Award and Players Player Award. [10] In June 2010, Charles signed a new one-year contract with Aldershot Town. [11]

Charles sustained a knee injury during Aldershot's last game of the 2010–11 campaign at Lincoln City.
