Charlton Athletic to sign former Cardiff City, Celtic, Sunderland and Bristol City defender Adam Matthews

Adam Matthews is set to re-join Charlton Athletic, according to reports.

The 14-cap Wales international spent the duration of the 2019/20 campaign at The Valley but is currently a free agent after his one-year deal with the Addicks expired in the summer.

But London News Online report that Matthews is poised to sign a fresh one-year contract with the League One outfit.

The 28-year-old started his career with Cardiff City but left the Welsh capital to join Celtic in 2011.

After four years with the Scottish giants, Matthews moved on to pastures new having won four league titles, a Scottish Cup and a Scottish League Cup in Glasgow.

He signed for Sunderland in 2015 but was released by the club last year having also had a loan spell at Bristol City during the 2016/17 campaign.

But he now appears set to link up with fellow Wales internationals Chris Gunter, Jonny Williams and Dylan Levitt under Lee Bowyer.

Matthews made a total of 29 appearances in the Championship for Charlton last season.

The Swansea-born defender last featured for Wales in their 1-0 China Cup final defeat to Uruguay in March 2018.
