Stevenage Football Club have agreed terms with Charlton Athletic for the loan signing of Alex Gilbey until the end of the season…
The midfielder becomes Steve Evans’ thirteenth signing of the summer transfer window, joining on a temporary basis after making 66 appearances for League One Addicks.
Formerly of MK Dons and Wigan Athletic, the 27-year-old progressed through the academy at Colchester United before making his senior debut in 2012 and has since appeared more than 300 times in the English Football League.
“The move has been in the works for a few weeks so I’m glad it’s over and now I’m looking forward to Saturday,” Gilbey said at the signing. “I had a few offers from the league above but as soon as I spoke to the manager and took a look at the training facilities it was a no-brainer for me.
“I signed for Stevenage because I want to be promoted. With the way the manager talks and what his plans are, he wants the same. For me the main thing is to score as many goals as possible and to help the Club achieve its goal.
Watch Alex Gilbey make his home debut for Stevenage next Saturday as we welcome Sutton United to the Lamex Stadium in Sky Bet League Two. Tickets are available online and in advance at a reduced price at www.borotickets.co.uk.
