Player Biography
Ben Purrington returns to South East London on a 3-year-deal following his success in helping to fire Charlton back into the Championship during his loan spell here last season.
The arrival of the defender, who had played 26 games in League One during 2018/19 prior to joining the Addicks, ended Lee Bowyer’s search for a left-sided full-back.
Purrington began his career with Plymouth Argyle where he played 52 games in League Two before earning a move to Rotherham.
He played 10 games for the Millers in the Championship and then 10 further games in League One in 2017/18 before his successful loan spell with AFC Wimbledon. He joined the Addicks in January and helped to staple down the left side for Charlton. His arrival saw The Addicks lose only two of the games that he featured in.
Purrington wrote himself into Charlton legend when he slotted home Charlton's equaliser in the play-off final.
