Former Town striker Connor Wickham has joined League One Charlton Athletic. Wickham, 30, left Cardiff City after a half-season spell in the summer having spent the first half of 2022/23 at Forest Green Rovers. “I’m excited to be here,” Wickham, who came through the Town academy, told the Addicks official website.
“It’s a good opportunity for me to work with a good group of lads and a good manager for the last part of the season, so it’s something I’m looking forward to. Results lately have picked up and it’s going to be a big push until the end of the season.” Manager Nathan Jones, whose side is 14th in League One said: “Connor’s been here for a couple of weeks and we like the human being, so that’s the start.The experience, physicality and quality he has makes him a really good signing. We’re pleased to have him in and it’ll be interesting to see how much we can get out of him.”Wickham joins on-loan Blues duo Panutche Camara and Freddie Ladapo at the Valley.Meanwhile, another ex-Town striker, Freddie Sears, has left Dagenham & Redbridge by mutual consent having joined the S side in September following his release by Colchester last summer.
