Born in Harlow but raised in Waltham Forest, Charlie attended Highams Park School (as did my wife Jo). This left sided midfielder originally trained with Norwich. Charlie scored twice in seven appearances for Tottenham's Under-17s in 2002/03 and made one appearance as substitute for the Under-19s.

Charlie was loaned to Chesterfield during the early part of 2007, making his league debut against Leyton Orient - but had to return early due to a knee ligament injury.

Charlie joined Leyton Orient on a season long loan on 5th August 2007. "The left-sided positions were ones that needed strengthening," said Orient boss Martin Ling "Spurs value him as one for the future - he has just signed a new two-year contract with them."

Daniels returned to Tottenham at the end of the 2007/8 season having made 30 appearances for Orient, scoring twice

On 27th August 2008, Charlie was loaned out again - this time joining Gillingham for a month. Manager Mark Stimson told BBC Radio Kent: "We've been looking at Charlie for a while. He's got a decent left foot and will add balance on the left side. The boy's got talent."

Daniels rejoined Orient on 6th January 2009 signing an 18 month contract with the East London side.
