The transfer window may be closed but Greenwich.co.uk today announces a new star signing.
The veteran Charlton Athletic writer, Kevin Nolan, is joining the website for an undisclosed fee after his previous stint writing match reports for the council’s Greenwich Time newspaper was brought to an end.
Nolan, who has been covering the club’s fortunes for 26 years at a variety of publications, commented on the deal:
“I am happy, if cautious, about this new venture. It was P G Wodehouse, I believe, who warned that it was precisely when you were feeling chipper and optimistic about life, that the 3.45 was steaming out of Waterloo on its way to hitting you in the small of your back at Clapham Junction. So I intend to steer clear of Clapham Junction and hope to cut the mustard for my new public. You’re out there, right?”
Kevin’s first match report for Greenwich.co.uk will be this weekend following Charlton’s home match against Exeter.

How’s he going to do that when he’s skippering West Ham at Upton Park?
Good to see that Kevin is back reporting on Charlton have just read report on Exeter game as honest and witty as usual.

Kevin is the doyen of football reporters. An excellent signing! I am a Charlton exile working and living in Hampshire so to read these online reports are invaluable. Well done greenwich.co.uk and well done Kev!
