Charlton Athletic are delighted to announce the loan signing of James Bree from Southampton.
The 27-year-old defender, who joins on a deal until January, made 17 Premier League appearances for the Saints last season and brings a wealth of Championship experience to the Addicks’ ranks.
Manager Nathan Jones is thrilled to make Bree his 10th summer signing. He said: "I’m really pleased we’ve been able to bring in James. It’s a position we’ve been trying to fill for a long time. I signed him at Luton and he did wonderfully, and I bought him at Southampton to play in the Premier League. He’s someone I have real faith in.
"It’s a real coup to get a player of his quality, athleticism and pedigree. The signing of James finishes off a wonderful window where we have added real quality to the squad."
Bree added: "I’m absolutely delighted to get it over the line. It all happened really quickly in the last couple of days once I spoke to the gaffer. I’ve obviously worked with him before and he really got the best out of me. I’m looking forward to playing in front of all of the fans."
The deal is subject to EFL and FA approval.
