Charlton sign ex-Wolfsburg defender Roussillon

Jerome Roussillon has been without a club since leaving Union Berlin in the summer

Charlton Athletic have signed former Montpellier and Wolfsburg defender Jerome Roussillon on a "short-term" contract.

The 32-year-old has experience of playing Champions League and Europa League football and links up with the Addicks to provide cover at left-back, with Josh Edwards currently out injured.

Roussillon represented France at youth level before opting to play for the Guadeloupe national team in 2023. He has eight senior caps.

"I'm really happy to be here and be part of the team. I'm excited to get started and can't wait to play in front of our supporters," he told the club's website.

Roussillon began his professional career at Sochaux before joining Montpellier in 2015.

He moved to Germany with Wolfsburg three years later before transferring to Union Berlin in 2023. He has been without a club since being released in the summer.

Charlton have not stated the length of the deal.
