Charles Edward "Charlie" Sheringham (born 17 April 1988 in Chingford) is an English footballer who is a striker and currently plays for Bournemouth in the Football League One. He is the son of former England forward Teddy Sheringham.

Career

Sheringham originally started out at his father's first club, Millwall, as part of their academy set-up, before moving on to another of his father's former teams, Tottenham Hotspur. Having been released by Spurs, he was given a trial at Bournemouth, and then another at Ipswich Town, in which he impressed and was given a one-year contract.

At Portman Road, he won an FA Youth Cup winners medal as a sub in 2005. Ipswich released him in the summer of 2005. He was transferred to Charlton Athletic on a free transfer but failed to make an impact and was very soon released, after which he went on trial at Crystal Palace, playing several games for Kit Symons's reserve side.

He impressed, and was kept on for the pre-season by manager Peter Taylor, scoring in a first-team pre-season friendly at Stevenage Borough. He also impressed against American champions, the Los Angeles Galaxy, which led to him being given a professional contract, on a month-by-month contractual deal. He then impressed even further, and was given a full contract, lasting two years.

On 18 April 2007, Sheringham flew out to America with teammate Lewwis Spence to join Crystal Palace's feeder club Crystal Palace Baltimore on loan for four months, though he had to fly home early with a hairline fracture of the foot.

Sheringham was released at the end of the January 2008 transfer window without making a single first team appearance. Following his release from Crystal Palace Sheringham headed to Denmark on an eight day trial at Fremad Amager of the Danish 1st Division. The trial was set up by his father Teddy Sheringham, who is an old friend of then manager Jakob Friis-Hansen. The move fell through at the last minute.

Sheringham signed for Conference South side, Bishop's Stortford on 15 May 2009, from Welling United at the end of the 2008–09 season. Sheringham had been Welling's top scorer in the 2008–09 season, scoring 26 goals in all competitions.

Sheringham then made the move to Conference National side Histon on 13 February 2010 on loan from Bishop's Stortford until the end of the 2009–10 season, failing to score in the loan period he spent at the club. On 17 June 2010, Sheringham signed for Conference South side Dartford.
