CHARLTON ATHLETIC HAVE confirmed the acquisition of Irish goalkeeper Stephen Henderson.
The 33-year-old, who was a free agent, joins the League One club on a one-year contract.
Henderson had been training with Charlton in recent weeks, having been released by Crystal Palace at the end of last season.
It marks a return to a former club for the Dubliner, who played 53 Championship games for the Addicks in a two-year spell before joining Nottingham Forest in 2016.
“It feels really good to be back,” Henderson said. “It’s a great atmosphere, good staff, there are really positive vibes and I’m just really blessed that I’ve been given another opportunity at such a great club.”
A former Republic of Ireland U21 international, Henderson was included in the senior squad on several occasions but didn’t earn a cap.
He’ll aim to challenge Craig MacGillivray to become first-choice goalkeeper at The Valley, where former Southampton boss Nigel Adkins is in charge.
At Least the Refs are been consistent thus far with the yellow for dissent
Yeah, if only they clamped down on nasty horrific tackles.
