Charlie Setford
Charlie Terence Setford (born 11 May 2004) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League Two club Milton Keynes Dons on loan from Dutch club Ajax.
Born in the Netherlands, he represents England at youth level.
Setford was scouted by AFC Ajax at age 7 (at Football club BSM in Bennebroek), and he has been part of the club ever since. He featured regularly at every level of the club's youth system. He signed a three-year contract with Ajax in June 2020. On 2 April 2021, aged 16, Setford made the bench for Jong Ajax in a league match for the first time. He made the bench on three more occasions before the end of the season.
Setford made his first appearance and start for Jong Ajax during the 2021–22 season in a league match on 20 August 2021 against FC Den Bosch. Aged only 17, this made him the youngest goalkeeper ever to play for Ajax. Jong Ajax won 3–2 and Setford made an important one-on-one save. Setford made a second start against MVV on 27 September, saving a penalty in a 3–1 win.
Setford also made the bench for the senior Ajax team for the league match against PEC Zwolle on 11 September 2021, and from then on has made regular appearances on the bench for the seniors, including in the UEFA Champions League match against Beşiktaş on 28 September 2021.
On 2 February 2026, Setford joined EFL League Two club Milton Keynes Dons on loan for the remainder of the 2025–26 season.
Setford was born in the Netherlands to an English father and Dutch mother, and is eligible to play for both England and the Netherlands at international level. He has played for both nations at youth level, playing a combined four appearances for Netherlands U15 and Netherlands U16 before 2020, as well as making five appearances for the England U16 team. However, Setford later announced that he had decided to commit to playing for England over the Netherlands at international level, explaining: "It was my own choice, and my family as well. My heart lays at England. At England, they've got more trust in me than they would at Holland, for my feeling. So that's one of the biggest reasons why I chose for England."
On 27 August 2021, Setford received his first call up to the England U18s. He made his first appearance on 3 September 2021, starting a 1–1 draw against Wales U18. On 18 March 2022, he received his first call up the England U20 squad.
