Jason Pearce has signed a new one-year deal at Charlton

The contract includes the option for the Addicks’ club captain to continue in a future coaching role with the Sky Bet League One side.

The 33-year-old has played 147 times for Charlton since joining in 2016.

Pearce told the club’s website: “Everyone knows I love this club, it’s the longest I’ve been at a club and I see myself staying here for a long time.

“I’ll still fight for my place and do the best I can to get in the team – that is what I have done throughout my career.”

Charlton later announced that Ben Watson has signed a new one-year extension.

The midfielder said: “Last season was disappointing to end up where we did but we finished the season strongly and, under the new gaffer (Nigel Adkins), put a really good run of games and results together.

“To miss out on the play-offs was disappointing so I am pleased to have the opportunity to build on the way we finished last season.”
