Charlton Athletic midfielder Bradley Pritchard has committed to the Addicks for another two years.

The 26-year-old has secured his future with the club, who are due to begin their campaign in the Championship in August following their promotion to the second tier of English football.

"I'm excited to be given another opportunity to be part of this squad," Pritchard told the club's official website. "The gaffer has shown faith in me and I really want to repay his belief.

"More than anything, this is just the start of another year of hard work and proving myself, and I can't wait for the season to start."

Club boss Chris Powell added: "I'm really pleased that Bradley's agreed to extend his contract. He was - and he knows it - a bit of a punt, shall we say.

"But he showed enough to me the season before last in the weeks that he was here on trial that he was worthy of having a season at professional level.

"He made the breakthrough quicker that anyone could have expected. We saw the attributes in him and felt that even at his late age he was worth giving a chance to."

Pritchard racked up 26 league appearances for the club last season.
