Charlton Athletic sign former Chelsea goalkeeper

Charlton Athletic have signed goalkeeper Prince Adegoke to go into their U21 set-up.

The 19-year-old has signed a one-year contract, with a club option of an additional 12 months, following a successful trial period.

Adegoke spent seven years on the books of Chelsea. He replaces Ahmed Kone, who opted to join Qatari side Al-Khor SC this summer.

Charlton technical director Andy Scott said: “We’ve been looking to add to our academy goalkeepers this summer, so we’re really pleased to bring in Prince.

“He’s an excellent talent with real potential and will immediately compete for a place in our U21s side, as well as providing back-up cover for the men’s first-team.”
