Wollacott has signed a three-year deal with the Red Robins and will play under his former manager at Swindon Town, Ben Garner.

“Obviously walking around the stadium you can feel the magnitude of the club. I’m really happy to be here. Ben being here made it an easy decision.
“We had a really good season last year. Obviously I know how he wants to play and I know how he wants his goalkeeper to play. I feel like, for the next step in my career, he can really develop my game."
Meanwhile, the Charlton Athletic manager added: "It’s another strong signing for us. Obviously Jojo is a player that I know very well having worked with him last season.
“I think he is a player with huge potential moving forwards as well and, again, he fits the character and the type of person that we want to bring into the football club.”
