The 25-year-old, who featured in the 2021/22 League Two Team of the Season, joins the Addicks on a three-year deal following the expiry of his contract at Swindon Town.

After impressing with the Robins under Ben Garner, Wollacott earned his maiden Ghana call-up last October and has since helped his country qualify for this year's World Cup in Qatar.

"It made it an easy decision. We had a really good season last year," he told the club's official website.

"Obviously I know how he wants to play, I know how he wants his goalkeeper to play and I feel like, for the next step in my career, he can really develop that and hopefully we will have a successful season here."

"I look forward to it. It will be a fun day for sure and hopefully we can start the season off successfully.

Wollacott added; "Look, I’m just ready to get to work and hopefully just hit the ground running, as the old cliche is. It’s good."
