Ben Garner will take on former club Bristol Rovers next season after finally being announced as Charlton Athletic's new manager.
Reports have circulated for a fortnight that Garner would leave Swindon Town for the The Valley, but the Addicks have taken their time confirming the appointment, criticising "inaccurate" reports along the way. Total Sport Swindon reported on Wednesday an £80,000 compensation fee had been agreed to prise the 42-year-old away from The County Ground.
Garner has put pen to paper on a three-year deal and he has made a promise of attacking, entertaining football to Charlton fans.
