On the 2nd July last year Charlton Athletic’s top goal scorer with 27 goals in all competitions, Alfie May is sold to fellow League One team, Birmingham City for an undisclosed fee.

24 hours later, the club announces that 33 year old Matt Godden has joined for an undisclosed fee from Championship side, Coventry City

21 goals in all competitions at the end of the regular League season has gone to show the 34 year old has been excellent when it comes to finding the net for the Addicks

Bar the opening game of the season, Godden has been in every league squad this season, and up to the goalless draw v Reading at the start of this year had scored 8 goals in all competitions

Godden came on as a sub after 61 minutes away at Rotherham in the middle of January with Charlton 4-1 down. Godden scored a great goal in injury time for the addicks but it would still see him on the bench for the next 2 league games.

Bar the Stockport and Crawley away games (Unused sub v Stockport), Godden has started every League game since, with 12 League goals in 18 games when starting up front for Charlton.

Godden now joins an elite group of players with the likes of Stuart Leary, Derek Hales, Clive Mendonca and Darren Bent who have scored 20 or more goals in a season for Charlton Athletic.

A Charlton side without Godden would be a massive hole to fill and fingers crossed he can fire Charlton to the Championship in the Play Off Fixtures starting next Sunday away at Wycombe Wanderers.
