Charlton: Charlton Athletic has just signed Tom McIntyre on loan from Portsmouth. This 26-year-old defender is ready to make his mark.
McIntyre started his career at Reading, where he was a standout player. Portsmouth picked him up during the January transfer window last year for about £75,000.
His contract with Portsmouth runs until 2026, with an option for another year. He’s played 13 times this season, mostly in the Championship, but hasn’t played since mid-December.
Charlton’s manager, Nathan Jones, is excited about McIntyre. He believes Tom brings valuable experience and skills to the team. Plus, being left-footed adds balance to their defense.
McIntyre himself is thrilled about the move. He said it felt brilliant and was eager to join Charlton as soon as he heard of their interest.
Charlton’s technical director, Andy Scott, is also pleased. He mentioned that McIntyre is a competitor and has great character. He’s versatile, having played in various positions, which is a big plus for the team.
