Charlton Athletic have bolstered their midfield by signing Scotland international Allan Campbell on a season-long loan from Luton Town.

Campbell played in Luton's promotion to the Premier League last season, missing just four league matches. 

This move reunites Campbell with manager Nathan Jones, who has now made nine new signings this summer, including Jamaica international Kaheim Dixon.

Campbell expressed his excitement about joining Charlton, saying, "I’m buzzing. My first impressions have been top. All the staff have been so welcoming. I’ve not met the players yet but I’m looking forward to getting started and helping the club get promoted."

This is the second time Jones has signed Campbell, previously bringing him to Luton from Scotland. Campbell spoke highly of the manager, stating, "He played a massive part. He brought me to Luton from Scotland so he knows me well and I know him well from working under him. I know what type of person he is - he’s got a drive to succeed and do well, and I thrive under that environment."

Jones himself is pleased to have Campbell back under his management, highlighting the midfielder's influence during Luton's successful push to the Premier League.

"I am delighted to add a player who I've signed previously, when I was at Luton. He's a player who was pivotal in Luton's promotion to the Premier League the season before last," Jones commented.

"He gives us another option in midfield, with his quality and experience. I loved working with him before, so when the opportunity came up to sign him for Charlton I really wanted to bring him here."
