Charlton Athletic
‘Can tell he loves the club’ – Plenty of Charlton fans react to player update

Charlton Athletic are still in celebration mode after securing promotion to the Championship following their play-off final success against Sunderland.
Addicks’ defender Patrick Bauer secured his side a late victory at Wembley, which led to wild celebrations from the club’s fans and players alike.
The Charlton Twitter account has now marked goalkeeper Dillon Phillips’ birthday by sharing a video of him celebrating his side’s return to the second tier after three seasons in League One.
???? Happy birthday to Charlton’s number one @Dillon_Phillips!
We hope you’re still enjoying your summer, Dill! #cafc pic.twitter.com/6nxWgsIYXO

Phillips established himself in Lee Bowyer’s side in the second half of last season, after playing second fiddle to Jed Steer during the early stages of the campaign. The 24-year-old was then able to make the number one jersey his own after Steer was recalled from his loan spell by Villa.
The academy product proved to be an instrumental figure in Charlton’s promotion, as he kept 12 clean sheets in his 27 league appearances last season to help his side over the line.
His performances earned him increased support from the Charlton faithful last season, and many of them responded to the club’s birthday message in adoration of the Hornchurch-born stopper.
Here are some of the best reactions…
new contracts pls

He'll enjoy it even more when his manager is given something that reflects his ability and his achievements.
