Speaking to Charlton Athletic's official website, he said : ''There was a lot of things: the club is in the Championship now; it’s a London club, I’m a London boy.
''The Gaffer here – Lee is a well-known person that everybody knows, so there’s a lot of reasons why the move to Charlton was very attractive''.

He spent thirteen years at Arsenal and made one appearance for their first team prior to his departure in 2014.
