Good to get this one done and announced, sounds like a very versatile left sided defender/midfield addition to the squad, maybe this could be the first of many now to be introduced to the fans COYR..👍
Yes 4 years but after the utter failure of Charlie Kirk to succeed after getting a long contract, there is a claus in the contract that states:
If Josh Edwards end up with an average of less than 6 on the Charlton Life players scores at the end of the 24/25 season his contract can be terminated. Mr Lancashire Lad will be the arbiter and his figures will be taken as gospel.
Harsh but fair.
Stay fit and strong Josh Edwards and make the step up from the lowly status of Scottish League 1 and Championship.
Please be more Mark Reid than a bad Penney 🤞🏻
Good luck to a successful 4 seasons and not just summer, autumn, winter and spring.
He looks like a bit of a unit. Think we might be a little bit of a nasty team next year - the sort of team we usually moan about when they come up against us ha ha.
Now that's a retro shirt I love, even though it being considered retro makes me feel quite depressed. I think that was my first proper Charlton shirt as a kid, Bartlett 17 on the back. What a season; the 3-2 robbery at Stamford Beach, 2-0 win over Liverpool, the 2-1 away turnaround win at Leeds back when that was difficult, binning off a 2-0 lead against Spurs to draw 2-2, pumping West Ham 4-2 where our players scored all 6 goals and Kish even got one, the 3-1 win at Sunderland where they scored 3 own goals in 8 minutes, the final appearance of Richard Rufus and then the traditional end of season slip into the void in March knowing we were safe. What a great time that was
Welcome aboard Josh! Looking forward to seeing you play, given we have had a few signings struggle to settle, slightly concerned to see him say “It’s a bit of a change of pace. I’m not a big city person to be perfectly honest. It will be a big change but I’m looking forward to it.” But ultimately happy to see us take a punt on someone a bit different and someone who was a top performer at his previous club as opposed to an outcast who was good a few seasons ago
I have really good feeling about this signing . I just hope he settles in well in London .
I've got a Scottish pal who moved down from Glasgow and loves it here. Been here 20 years and has almost even packed up the skag so should be promising in that respect. 🤞
Tbh I’ve absolutely no idea how the standard of the Scottish 2nd and 3rd tiers compare to us.
Anyone know if he is a similar or different style of player to Thierry Small? As they’ll most likely be competing for the same spot
he looks fairly attacking from the clips but Cawley suggested he can play a few positions on the left. Looks a step up from Edun and played 36 games last season with 10 goal involvements.

I thought the same. Any other Scottish lads left in the squad now CMc and Fraser (probably) are gone?
Do we employ Andy Scott for two meaningless paragraphs at the foot of each signing now? I guess it saves Nathan 20-seconds talk on each one….
I expect the thing that has changed is that Jones has much more say on signings than previous managers. However I suspect that Scott still does most of the negotiation: with other clubs and agents.

Welcome Josh.
At the very least should provide cover or competition for Small which is a good thing as proper depth of options is something we've missed.
