Defender joins Powell's remodelling process on three-year deal

Charlton have signed Bournemouth defender Rhoys Wiggins for an undisclosed fee. As revealed earlier on Thursday by skysports.com, the 23-year-old has penned a three-year contract and becomes the ninth signing of the summer at The Valley. Manager Chris Powell, who has also agreed to sign young goalkeeper Nick Pope from Bury Town, told Charlton's official website: "It's been a long process but I think it's a process that will be worth it for us. "He was exceptional last year every time I saw Bournemouth. Whether it was live or on television he showed what an exciting player and talent he is. "Obviously he is a long list of signings that we are making, but I'm definitely as pleased as punch that he wants to come on board and be part of what we are trying to do here. "I think he is enthused by that - I definitely am. As you know it's a big rebuilding process and I think he is a key, key part of the way I want to play."
