Stephen Henderson lands Charlton Athletic goalkeeping coach gig on permanent basis
Charlton Athletic have appointed Stephen Henderson as their goalkeeping coach on a permanent basis.
The 35-year-old had initially taken on the position after Glyn Shimell left at the end of August – part of the casualty list from boss Dean Holden’s dismissal along with assistant Danny Senda – on an interim basis.
Henderson has had two matches in the role. He was part of the backroom team for head coach Michael Appleton’s first game in charge – a 1-1 draw at Stevenage earlier this month and then Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Wycombe Wanderers.
Charlton technical director Andy Scott said: “We’re delighted to welcome Stephen to the club.
“He understands Michael’s philosophy and has a similar outlook on the game. Just as importantly, he knows the significance of winning for Charlton Athletic having been a player here.
“He’s had an extensive playing career at a good level and we hope that he can have a huge impact with all of our goalkeepers all the way from the first team through to the academy.”
