Charlton Athletic are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Belgian international goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski from Luton Town for an undisclosed fee.
The 6ft 3in stopper won the 2023/24 Premier League Save of the Season and played every game during the Hatters’ top-flight campaign, making the second-highest number of saves across the whole division.
The 32-year-old, who has collected end-of-season awards at both Luton and previous club Blackburn Rovers, brings a wealth of experience having made almost 200 appearances in English football’s top-two leagues.
Kaminski has signed a three-year contract with the Addicks to become Nathan Jones’ second signing of the summer following the arrival of ball-carrying midfielder Sonny Carey.
The goalkeeper said: "I'm really excited to join the club. When I first spoke to the gaffer he came across very, very determined and very passionate about what we wants to do and what he's going to do. That was a big, big motivating factor for me to come to Charlton."
Manager Nathan Jones added: "I’m very pleased because it’s a wonderful signing. Thomas was outstanding for Luton in the Premier League and he was outstanding last season in the Championship as well. For me, he’s one of the best goalkeepers in the division. We wanted to strengthen on all levels and improve every department, and we feel that the signing of Thomas does that."
Kaminski made his professional debut in his native Belgium for top-flight side Germinal Beerschot. This was followed by permanent spells at OH Leuven, Anderlecht, Kortrijk and Gent, as well as loan stints with Anorthosis Famagusta and Copenhagen.
Before making the move to Blackburn in the summer of 2020, he was part of three top-flight winning teams and lifted four cups, while also featuring in both the Champions League and the Europa League.
The stopper, who has been capped by Belgium at various youth levels, made his senior international debut against the Republic of Ireland in March 2024.
