Charlton Athletic defender Ben Purrington has taken to Instagram to reflect on his return to senior action in the club's recent clash with Gillingham.

The Verdict

Purrington will now be hoping to play a key role in helping Charlton move up the League One standings after making his first appearance of the season for the club.

Certainly no stranger to life in the third-tier, the defender has featured on 83 occasions in this division during his career and thus knows exactly what it takes to compete at this level.

Having recorded a relatively underwhelming WhoScored match rating of 6.17 against Gillingham, Purrington will be determined to deliver an eye-catching performance against Portsmouth if he is selected by Nigel Adkins for this fixture.

If Charlton seal victory in-front of their supporters this weekend, they may be able to use the momentum gained from this result to push on in the third-tier.
