Charlton winger signs new deal

Promising Charlton winger Lloyd Sam has signed a new four-year contract.

The 21-year-old, who broke his foot last season made just three first-team appearances, has impressed new Charlton boss Iain Dowie and is now tied to The Valley until 2010.

“I’m delighted to sign this new deal,” said Sam.

“As my old contract was up at the end of this season I’ve been in negotiations since Christmas, but it’s great to get it done.

“I thought the change of manager might bring about some complications but it hasn’t and I think the fact that the new coach has given me a new deal after only a few weeks in the job shows a lot of faith in me.”
