The twenty-three year old is already somewhat a journeyman, having represented eleven clubs on loan from Spurs across four divisions. He also boasts thirty-one England caps to his name across four different age groups.
Addicks manager Chris Powell said “We are really happy to bring David to the club, he’s someone we’ve been monitoring for quite some time and is a hugely talented young keeper who is a good age and boasts all the right attributes.
“He’s come through the ranks at Tottenham and also has played youth football internationally as well as playing for quite a few clubs on loan, including in the Championship.
“This represents a new chapter for him and it’s great that he feels it’s the right time to make this move and further develop here at The Valley.
“David will provide strong competition in the goalkeeping department and that can only benefit us going forward.”
This signing seems to signal the departure of Charlton substitute goalkeeper John Sullivan, who only played twice in the league for Charlton last season. He is expected to join a lower league club on loan.
In other news, Sky Sports have reported that West Ham United and Bolton Wanderers have made bids for Charlton's player and young player of the season Chris Solly. One would hope that we do all we can to hold on to him, however if either club is offering a hefty sum, Chris Powell may be left with no choice. Lawrie Wilson would be a direct replacement in the starting line-up, although Powell would most likely want another player as cover, which would most likely be a Premier League loanee.
