Lee Johnson outlines THREE key Jojo Wollacott attributes as Hibs snap up Charlton goalkeeper

Lee Johnson has named THREE key attributes Jojo Wollacott offers after completing a deal for the goalkeeper.

The Easter Road side have snapped up the stopper from English League One outfit Charlton Athletic on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. He featured for his former club 20 times last season and has been recently plying his trade in the third and fourth tiers of English football. He's no stranger to the big stage with 11 senior caps for Ghana.

David Marshall was the No1 last season but with the capital club competing both domestically and on the European stage this coming campaign, the Hibees boss stressed the importance of strengthening his goalkeeping ranks.

He commented: “We’re delighted to bring Jojo to the Club and I’m looking forward to working with him again.

“He’s a player I’ve known for some time and it’s great to see that he’s starting to fulfil his potential. He now has over 100 games under his belt and has played on the international stage with Ghana.

“He’s an athletic, brave, and confident goalkeeper, and with big competitions coming up it’s important we’re strong in the goalkeeping department.”

Jojo has already joined up with his team-mates and goalkeeping coach Stuart Garden to prepare for the upcoming Scottish Premiership campaign and Europa Conference League qualifiers late next month.
