Ness made his second appearance for the club, the following season, coming on as a second-half substitute – on 4 January 2022 – in a 1–0 win over Milton Keynes Dons in Round Three of the EFL Trophy.[6]

On 19 April 2024, it was confirmed that Charlton had triggered the one-year extension clause in Ness’ contract, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2025.[7]
