Asiimwe signs Charlton deal and joins Dons on loan
Charlton Athletic defender Nathan Asiimwe has signed a new contract and joined AFC Wimbledon on a season-long loan. The full-back, 20, has signed a two-year deal with the Championship club, who have an option to extend the contract by a further year. He will spend the coming season with the newly-promoted League One side, managed by former Charlton player and boss Johnnie Jackson. Asiimwe ended last season on loan at Walsall and was part of the Saddlers side pipped to promotion by the Dons in the League Two play-off final at Wembley. He also had a spell on loan at Hartlepool United last season and has made 28 appearances so far for Charlton's first team since graduating from their academy. Asiimwe told AFC Wimbledon's website: "This was an attractive opportunity for me because I know the gaffer briefly from Charlton. "This is a step up to a new level for not just me but Wimbledon too, so this is a natural progression for me. "I like to be energetic down the flanks and help out in both boxes where possible. I know I can defend well but also support the attack with good deliveries into the box." Latest Charlton Athletic news, analysis and fan views Listen to Charlton Athletic content on BBC Sounds

Murphy opts not to take up Charlton CEO role
Dane Murphy will no longer be taking over as CEO at Charlton Athletic, the club has announced. The American former professional footballer has previously held the same role at Barnsley and Nottingham Forest, overseeing the Reds' promotion to the Premier League in 2021-22. The Addicks announced Murphy would take the helm at The Valley last month. But the club says the two parties have now agreed the former DC United and New York Cosmos player will not step into the role. "This decision was made in light of personal and professional considerations on Dane's part, and we fully respect and support his choice," chairman Gavin Carter told the club's website. "While Dane had not formally commenced the position, we are grateful for the time and effort he dedicated during the exploratory and planning phases. We thank him for his integrity throughout this process and wish him the very best in his future endeavours." Charlton begin their first season back in the Championship following promotion against Watford on Saturday, 9 August.
