Charlton Athletic Sign Right-Back Danny McNamara

What Happened?
Danny McNamara, a 27-year-old right-back, has rejoined Charlton Athletic after impressing during his time with Millwall. McNamara initially joined Charlton through the Addicks academy until he was 14. He later impressed at non-League side Corinthian, earning a move to Millwall in 2015.
McNamara enjoyed loan spells with several clubs before breaking into Millwall's Championship side in 2021. He went on to make 166 appearances for the Lions, scoring twice, before leaving following the expiry of his contract.
"I'm absolutely delighted to get it done," McNamara told club media. "I started my career here when I was really young, so it holds a special place in my heart and I can't wait to get going again."
