Charlie Austin is English striker born on 5th July 1989. Currently playing for West Bromwich Albion, Austin joined Reading as a youngster but having been released at the age of 15 he joined Non-League side Poole Town before transferring to League One side Swindon in October 2009 – making his debut in a Football League Trophy tie against Exeter later that month. He ended his first professional campaign at Wembley but was on the losing side as Swindon lost 1-0 to Millwall in the League One play-off final. The powerful centre-forward was signed by Burnley in January 2011, where would score 45 goals in 90 appearances, before a switch to QPR in August 2013 – helping the Londoners win the Championship play-off final against Derby County. In January 2016, Southampton paid £4m for Austin, who came off the substitute’s bench just a week after signing to score the winner against Manchester United on his debut. Austin has been called up by England but is as yet uncapped.
