Championship - Charlton sign non-league hot-shot

Eurosport - Mon, 16 Jun 16:01:00 2008

Championship side Charlton have won the race to sign highly-rated striker Stuart Fleetwood from Forest Green Rovers.

FOOTBALL: The Valley, home of Charlton Athletic - 0

Fleetwood, 22, scored 36 goals for Rovers last season and, along with the Golden Boot, was voted Blue Square Premier Player of the Season.

The former Wales Under-21 international has signed a three-year deal to become the Addicks' second signing of the summer after being linked with a host of Football League clubs.

Despite being a free agent, Charlton will pay Rovers a 'developmental' compensation fee for Fleetwood because he is under the age of 24. The fee will be decided at a tribunal.
