"The vision of the gaffer and the people behind the scenes with where they want to take the club," Coventry told the Charlton website when asked why he joined.

"I'm from London so I know what this club means to people and the size of it. I'm really looking forward to buying into what is going on here and being a part of it."

Manager Michael Appleton added: "I'm delighted we've been able to sign Conor. He's someone that quite a few years ago I took on his very first loan at Lincoln. To be able to be reunited with him on a permanent deal I'm delighted with.

"He's very, very comfortable on the ball and knows his position really well. He's a good passer of the ball, with good technique, and he's got a steeliness to him as well which I like - a bit of nastiness to him. He's one who lives his life right and is a proper professional."

Charlton Technical director Andy Scott also commented on the transfer, saying: "We're really pleased to secure the signing of Conor. He's a player we've been chasing for a long time.

"We've beaten off a number of competitors, not only in League One, but in the Championship as well. He's shown how committed he is to Charlton and what we want to achieve here. It's an exciting signing for the club and I'm sure the fans will enjoy watching him on the pitch."
