Fullah 'close' to first-team contention - Jones
Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones says that midfielder Ibrahim Fullah will make an "impact" during the side's Championship season.
The Addicks academy graduate scored on his full debut for the club during their 3-1 EFL Cup victory over Stevenage to leave an impression on his boss.
Following the side's promotion from League One last season, Jones says the club's young players would probably struggle to command much game time in the Championship - though Fullah may be one of the exceptions.
"Ibrahim [Fullah] is closer than people think," Jones told BBC Radio London after the match.
"We've gone up a level so, for them to keep pace with us and the Championship, their level has to go up, but there are a few in there that will impact us.
"Ibi is one of those."
