Charlton have clinched the signing of Bradley Wright-Phillips from Plymouth for an undisclosed fee.

Striker looking forward to linking up with the Addicks

Charlton Athletic have clinched the signing of Bradley Wright-Phillips from League One rivals Plymouth Argyle for an undisclosed fee. Wright-Phillips has been a target for a number of clubs during the transfer window and saw a move to Reading fall through earlier this month. A knee problem scuppered that switch and Wright-Phillips sat out Plymouth's 2-0 defeat at Charlton on Saturday due to the injury. However, the striker has now signed an 18-month deal with the Addicks and is looking forward to making an impact at The Valley.

Delighted

"I'm delighted to join Charlton," Wright-Phillips, who scored in the 2-2 draw between the two sides at Home Park earlier in the season, told the club's official website. "It's a club which I'm sure is heading in the right direction, and as soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew I wanted to be a part of it." Blackpool and Rangers had also been linked with bids for Wright-Phillips and new Charlton boss Chris Powell is delighted to have captured the forward. Powell said: "I am very happy to have a player of his calibre joining our squad."
