Lewis Page signed a deal that will keep him at The Valley until June 2020 on Monday.

Page will trigger an automatic extension for a further year if he makes a certain amount of appearances.

He has been plagued by injuries since arriving at The Valley, and will be a really useful player if he can get a run of games under his belt.

Page has shone since Lee Bowyer took over, and Bowyer’s influence was probably a major reason why he agreed the new deal.

‎Here is what he had to say after penning the deal:

“I’m delighted, I’ve just put pen to paper and I’m happy to keep going with Charlton. I’m really enjoying my time here.

“Lee Bowyer has been brilliant for me, he’s given me the confidence to go out and play. Now it’s just for me about staying fit and getting back out there.”

Bowyer was naturally delighted to get the deal over the line:

“It’s very good news. Pagey started the season very well, he ended the season very well last season, so I think he’s a good signing.

“He’s a good left-back in this division for sure. We’ve definitely missed him in the time he has been out. I’m delighted that he’s signed.

“He had a tough start and didn’t get many games. I came in and he was outstanding for me. I think once he gets back, he’ll just go on and on and on, and get better and better.

“I think he’s a very good signing for us, I think we’ve probably got the best left back in the league.”

“He’s an all-rounder. He’s a good defender. One v one he’s very good, he defends the back post well and he’s very good at getting forward, so the way we play he gives us an outlet and he’s got great delivery on the run.

“Accrington Stanley comes to mind, that cross he put in for Karlan, not many people can do that on the run. He gives us a lot, I’m over the moon.

Head of Recruitment, Steve Gallen, added:

“We’re pleased he’s signed. We’ve been negotiating with Lewis and his agent for the past maybe six weeks.

“He’s got a good left foot, he’s got a great left foot in fact. He’s very attacking, dynamic, he wants to get up the pitch. He wants to stick the ball in the box.

“I see him here at training at times, some superb deliveries going in the box. If you’re Lyle Taylor, Karlan Grant, Nicky Ajose or an Igor (Vetokele), if you’re a striker like that you’ll want to see those kind of deliveries going into the box because there are goals at the end of them.”

‎The Addicks face Mansfield at The Valley on Tuesday evening in an FA Cup First Round replay.

It will be interesting to see what sort of team Bowyer puts out.
