As anticipated, Charlton Athletic confirmed the signing of striker Lee Novak on Friday morning.

He will officially join the club on 1 July when his contract ‎with Birmingham City  expires.

Russell Slade was delighted with his second acquisition in two days and had this to say:

“Lee is a real team player, will run and stretch teams, and help us to link our play.

“He’ll be a real pest to centre-halves and won’t give them a minute’s peace, and that is exactly what we want.

“All-round Lee will be a really good signing for us.”

Novak added:

“It’s brilliant to get everything sorted. I came down on Monday and spoke to the gaffer and Katrien, and I’m delighted that we have got it signed.

“This is a huge club, the facilities here are brilliant and the gaffer’s plans for the future and his aims for the club were a real attraction for me.

“A club this size needs to be looking for promotion to get up the leagues and I’m hopeful that we can achieve that next season.”

More signings are anticipated shortly, with Nicky Ajose likely to be the next arrival.
