Former Sunderland midfielder George Dobson has revealed he 'loving' playing for Charlton Athletic after establishing himself as a regular fixture in the Addicks side. The 24-year-old fell out of favour at the Stadium of Light and sealed a permanent exit last summer, signing a two-year deal with Charlton.
Although he started the season in favour at Charlton, he slipped down the pecking order and found himself unable to win a place in the matchday squads selected by Nigel Adkins, who started the season as Addicks manager. However, the dismissal of Adkins and appointment of Johnnie Jackson as his replacement rescued Dobson from exile and he been ever-present in the side since.
As reported by South London Press, Dobson was asked whether he felt he had something to prove after being frozen out and replied: "That’s football. You have some gaffers who like what you do and some gaffers who don’t. That’s part and parcel of the game. I was just waiting for my opportunity and thankful for the gaffer that he gave it to me. I just try to repay his faith.
