Millwall bring in keeper Coleman

Joel Coleman made one Premier League appearance for Huddersfield Town in 2019

Millwall have signed goalkeeper Joel Coleman on a one-year deal.

The 29-year-old, who played in the Premier League for Huddersfield Town, has been signed on a free transfer, having spent the past two seasons at Bolton Wanderers.

The Lions have already signed keepers Steven Benda and Max Crocombe this summer and Coleman has been brought in to add further depth.

"Joel has played at every level, from the Premier League to League Two, and has also been involved in a Championship play-off final, so his experience is what we are looking for in him as well," said Millwall goalkeeping coach Dean Thornton.

"I've seen at previous clubs how undervalued the role that Joel has come into can be.

"He can come into training and drive standards as well as supporting Max and Steven. But also he brings some excitement to sessions and will keep the goalkeeping unit working really well."

The 6ft 5in Coleman is a product of Oldham Athletic's academy and began his career with the Latics before moving on to Huddersfield, Shrewsbury, Fleetwood, Rochdale, Ipswich and Bolton.
