The 18-year-old scored twice for the Addicks in the competition and said he was over the moon.

A REFUSAL by Greenwich Council to vary a condition placed on potential residential accommodation as part of Charlton's east-stand development plans could see the Addicks appeal to the environment secretary.

The residential project is integral to Charlton's funding for the development work.
