York City are delighted to announce the signing of defender Charlie McArthur following the expiry of his contract at Newcastle United.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old arrives in North Yorkshire after loan spells at Carlisle United and Airdrieonians, adding further quality to Stuart Maynard\u2019s defensive options ahead of the 2026\/27 campaign.<\/p>\n
McArthur began his career with hometown club Kilmarnock, coming through the academy and turning professional in July 2021, before making his first-team debut at just 16 years old.<\/p>\n
He went on to feature for the Scottish side as they secured promotion back to the Scottish Premiership.<\/p>\n
In the summer of 2022, the Toon secured his signature, where he continued his development within the club\u2019s academy set-up.<\/p>\n
During his time on Tyneside, McArthur got regular minutes in Premier League 2, the UEFA Youth League, and the EFL Trophy.<\/p>\n
The left-footed centre-back gained his first real taste of EFL football during a loan spell with Carlisle United in the second half of the 2024\/25 season, playing ten League Two games.<\/p>\n
Also an accomplished Scotland youth international, McArthur captained his country at the UEFA European U17 Championships before also representing Scotland at U19 and U21 level.<\/p>\n
Now, the defender links up with the Minstermen ahead of our first season back in League Two.<\/p>\n
Welcome to York, Charlie!<\/p>\n
