Charlton boss Michael Appleton added: “Tyreeq is six foot three and he gives us a physicality in midfield.

"He can play as a holding midfielder or a box-to-box midfielder because he’s got the ability to get up and down the pitch when he wants and needs to.

"He can do that from a physical point of view, but he’s also got the discipline to sit in there when required. Tyreeq has played at big clubs has been promoted twice, so he brings a lot of experience to the group as well.”
