Ghana goalkeeper Joe Wollacott will wear N.1 for Charlton Athletic ahead of the upcoming season, the club has confirmed.
The 25-year-old signed a three-year deal with the EFL League One side after successful negotiations.
He joined as a free agent after his contract expired at Swindon where he made 39 appearances last season and helped them to the League Two play-offs.
Wollacott, who has 10 caps for Ghana after making his international debut last year has reunited with his former manager, Ben Garner.
He came through Bristol City’s ranks and joined then-League Two side Forest Green Rovers on loan in 2019/20. He made his professional debut against Charlton at The Valley in the EFL Trophy.

In 2021, he joined Swindon on an emergency loan before he signed a permanent deal with the Robins at the start of the 2021/22 season.
In October 2021, Wollacott received his first call-up to the Ghana national team for 2022 World Cup qualification game against Zimbabwe.
He debuted with them in a 3-1 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Zimbabwe on 9 October 2021. He was part of the Black Stars team in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations that was eliminated at the group stage of the competition.
