SKY CONFIRM: Charlton Athletic Agree Deal with Leeds United for Joe Rothwell
Charlton Athletic have reached an agreement with Leeds United to sign midfielder Joe Rothwell, according to Sky Sports. The 29-year-old is set to make the switch to The Valley after a short stint at Elland Road, where he struggled to secure regular first-team football.
Rothwell, who joined Leeds in January, made only a handful of appearances, and the move to Charlton is seen as a chance to revive his career with consistent playing time. The deal is understood to be a permanent transfer, though financial terms remain undisclosed.
Charlton boss Nathan Jones has been eager to add experience and creativity to his midfield, and Rothwell fits the profile. The former Blackburn Rovers and Bournemouth man brings Championship pedigree and technical quality, which could prove crucial as Charlton aim to push for promotion next season.
Rothwell is expected to complete his medical and sign within the coming days.
