CHARLTON have signed Tottenham midfielder Andy Reid on a four-year deal, which could be worth £3m.

The Republic of Ireland international becomes Addicks boss Iain Dowie's fifth new recruit in the last nine days.

Dowie said: "Everyone is aware that the Premier League is about quality and ability on the ball. So we are delighted to clinch Andy's signing."

Reid joined Tottenham from Nottingham Forest in January 2005 and made 27 appearances, scoring one goal.

Charlton open their Premiership campaign at Upton Park against West Ham United on Saturday.
