Solly March is reportedly set to sign for Charlton Athletic following his summer exit from Brighton.The winger made 300 appearances and scored 26 goals across a 13-year spell at the Seagulls.March is heading back to the Championship with Charlton months after ending his 13-year stint with BrightonGettyMarch was part of the side that finished as runners-up in the 2016/17 Championship to earn promotion to the Premier League.Knee injuries blighted the latter years of his time on the south coast, and he has remained a free agent since the window shut.However, as per various reports, the 32-year-old is heading back to the Championship by signing for Charlton.The Addicks are 13th in the standings and managed by the animated Nathan Jones, who worked with the player at Brighton.Jones was assistant to Oscar Garcia and oversaw March’s senior debut for the club.When Sami Hyypia resigned as manager in December 2014, the now-Charlton boss played March on two occasions as Brighton caretaker.What did March say on his future after Brighton exit?Throughout his spell at Brighton, March played on both wings and in midfield, and even had a brief spell at left-back.His versatility played a key role in the club becoming an established Premier League side that now competes in Europe.However, whilst he has plenty of Championship experience thanks to his 75 appearances in the division, he was keen to stay at the top.March told talkSPORT towards the end of the summer window that he is still capable of playing in the Premier LeagueGetty“For me personally, I still want to play in the Premier League,” he told talkSPORT in August, whilst also dismissing a move abroad.“I definitely think I can do that. Maybe I’ve got to be patient, I don’t know. But it’s difficult, you get itchy feet, you’re at home alone and training alone.”March added: “I can play many positions. “I think I’ve got quality that maybe a lot of Premier League teams don’t have, and I think the experience helps.“When you’ve played 300 games, you know what it’s like, and you can help the younger players and advise them.“I still think I’ve got the quality… I’m feeling good, the best I have in two years. Just waiting for the right chance, and I think patience is the key.”
