Ireland prospect Josh Cullen returns to Charlton on season-long loan

Ireland prospect Josh Cullen has returned to Charlton on a season-long loan from West Ham.

The midfielder, who has featured in recent Ireland squads but has yet to win a senior cap, spent last season with the London club.

And the 23-year-old was central to their Wembley playoff win over Sunderland that secured promotion to the Championship.

Cullen has made 11 competitive appearances for West Ham but Charlton boss Lee Bowyer said: “I’m delighted because I didn’t think Josh was a possibility.

"I’m pleased to have someone with Josh’s ability - we saw how much he improved last year and what he brought to our team. 

"We know he will give us 100 per cent every time he trains and plays, he’s a great lad all around.”
