Charlton defender makes permanent League One transfer switch

Charlton defender Tayo Edun has completed a permanent switch to League One rivals Peterborough United.

Edun joined the Addicks from Blackburn Rovers in July 2023 but only made 37 appearances in total.

The 26-year-old was named on the bench twice in the league under Nathan Jones this season but failed to pick up any minutes.

Posh boss Darren Ferguson said: “Tayo is another player we have tried to sign in the past, he went to Blackburn Rovers instead, which you can understand. He had a fantastic time at Lincoln City.

“He moved to Charlton and sometimes it doesn’t work out, managers have their own ideas on players and he didn’t get the game time he was looking for.

“He can play a variety of positions, but left-back is where we see him, he is strong physically, is a good athlete and can get up and down the pitch.

“He has had success in this league before, he has played plenty of games, which is important and I believe he will add to what we have, he has good quality and he fits the profile of what I am looking for in a full-back in terms of how athletic he is.”
