“ As soon as I heard Charlton were interested, there were other opportunities that arose but I knew wanted to come to this football club. You just have to look at the size of it, its history, that ticked all the boxes for me."
MacGillivray becomes the Addicks’ second signing of the summer following the arrival of Jayden Stockley from Preston North End on a permanent basis.
