Charlton Athletic are delighted to confirm the signing of full-back Adam Chicksen on a free transfer.

The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a one-year deal in SE7 and becomes Manager Russell Slade’s tenth signing of the summer.

After joining his hometown club Milton Keynes Dons at the age of 14, he made his senior bow for the Buckinghamshire club just two years later.

Chicksen is comfortable playing both at left-back and right-back and he went on to make 78 league appearances for the Dons – and also had a short loan stint with Leyton Orient – before signing a three-year deal at Brighton & Hove Albion in 2013.

Having missed the first half of the 2013/14 season with an ankle injury, he made his Albion debut that December and went on to feature in the Championship’s end-of-season play-offs.

The following campaign, he joined Gillingham - and then Fleetwood Town - on loan. While with the Cod Army, Chicksen helped them to a 10th placed finish in their first ever season in League One.

He rejoined Leyton Orient on loan last year, playing six times, before returning to Albion, where he featured in their 3-2 win against the Addicks at AMEX Stadium.

Chicksen then returned to another of his former loan sides, Gillingham, where he went on to play six matches for the play-off-chasing Gills.

Chicksen will take our number three shirt and could go straight into the squad for tonight’s Checkatrade Trophy fixture against Southampton U23s at The Valley.

Good signing.

I wonder if we were looking at a couple of players, but just put all our eggs in one basket?

brighton supporting mate, says he a bit too lightweight for the championship and league 1 is about his level.

I've heard he has a foul (fowl!) in him!

ForeverAddickted

I hear we're paying him bird feed compared to what we're paying everyone else in the squad

Brighton only made him a poultry offer to stay

IdleHans

So will there be a fox amongst the chicksens?

Leuth

And I've heard he has plenty of pluck (cluck!) (also pluck!) in him!

newyorkaddick

Maybe he can play on the wing in the second leg?

Garrymanilow

Left back cover. Football League experience. Short contract in case he's shit. Good.

cafc4life

Can't wait to see him fly up and down the left wing

Funny pun comment.

Addicted

Any chance we can sign someone whose name is impossible to pun?

Callumcafc

I hear Slade is cock-a-hoop with this one.

Leuth

Hey, guess what? I've heard he can merk (murgh!) opposing wingers! And that he has a trick (chick!) in him!

newyorkaddick

Not clear why we've signed him - maybe Slade's next interview will provide some nuggets.

ricky_otto

Welcome Adam. Best of pluck.

moutuakilla

At least we know who came first

Real feather in slades cap this one.

Leuth

"Dad, who have we just signed?"

"A damn chick, son. A damn chick."

"That's nice and progressive of us. I hope she plays well!"

"Son."

Any chance of someone posting a sensible appraisal of his footballing ability, rather than inane, childish and boring yolks relating to his name?

Callumcafc

This must all be part of Slade's master plan that he is hatching.
