Ghana goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott joins League One side Charlton Athletic

Black Stars goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott has joined League One side Charlton Athletic in the ongoing transfers window.

Wollacott had a standout season with Swindon Town, earning a spot on the 2021-22 League Two Team of the Season.

In 37 league appearances for his team, the 25-year-old kept 11 clean sheets.

On 7 August 2019, Wollacott joined EFL League Two side Forest Green Rovers on loan for the 2019-20 season, facing competition for the first-team spot from Adam Smith and Lewis Thomas.

He made his debut in professional football six days later, saving a penalty as he kept a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw with Charlton Athletic in the EFL Cup, before going on to finish on the winning side in the penalty shoot-out.

Wollacott received his first call-up to the Ghana national team for the 2022 World Cup qualification game against Zimbabwe. He debuted with the Black Stars in a 3-1 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Zimbabwe on 9 October 2021.
