Charlie Steven Brian Pavey (born 7 June 2008) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Allsvenskan club AIK.

Club career

AIK

Pavey began playing football at the age of four with his hometown club AIK.[citation needed]

During the 2023 season, Pavey made his debut for the club's P19 team at just 15 years old. In the same season, he also helped secure the Swedish Championship title in the P16 Allsvenskan.

On 7 January 2025, Pavey signed his first senior team contract with AIK. The deal ran until 31 December 2027. According to reports, Pavey had previously turned down offers from several foreign clubs, including PSV Eindhoven, choosing instead to commit his future to AIK.

He made his debut for the club on 31 July 2025 in the qualification round of the UEFA Europa Conference League against Paide Linnameeskond at Strawberry Arena, a match that AIK won convincingly 6–0 (8–0 on aggregate). Pavey came on as a substitute in the 58th minute for Sotirios Papagiannopoulos and played the remainder of the match as the team's right wing-back.

Pavey made his Allsvenskan debut on 5 April 2026, starting the match and playing 69 minutes as AIK secured a 2–1 victory over Halmstads BK in their season opener, courtesy of goals from Ibrahim Cissé and Zadok Yohanna.

Personal life

Born in Sweden to English parents, Charlie Pavey is a Swedish national and also holds British citizenship through his parents. He is the son of former professional footballer and AIK legend Kenny Pavey.
