CHARLTON are set to complete the signing of midfielder Mark Gower on a permanent deal.

The 34-year-old is a free agent after being released by Swansea City and spent the latter stages of last season on loan at The Valley.

Gower made six first team appearances for Chris Powell’s men during that spell and News Shopper understands he impressed enough to be rewarded with a contract in SE7.
