AFC Wimbledon make Josh Davison a permanent addition after fee agreed with Charlton Athletic

AFC Wimbledon have signed Charlton Athletic striker Josh Davison for an undisclosed fee.

We reported earlier today that the 22-year-old was set for a switch to the League Two club after a couple of bids had been rejected.

Davison told Wimbledon’s website: “I’m buzzing to be here. I can’t wait to get started.

“I’ve always been attracted to the club because of it’s history. Johnnie Jackson has been good with me since I signed for Charlton as an 18-year-old. He knows how to get the best out of me.

“We want to try and get promotion and that was a big selling point for me. The stadium, the pitch and the stands are unreal.”

Dons manager Jackson added: “We’re delighted to have brought Josh in. He’s someone that we’ve been after for a long time. The club have backed what we’re trying to do by getting us a permanent striker. He’s a young and hungry centre-froward that’s capable of scoring goals at Football League level as he’s already proved at Swindon Town.

“He brings strength, power, pace and enthusiasm to the frontline. He has an unbelievable attitude. Josh has a big future ahead of him and he can be a real asset for this football club.”
