Addicks swoop for non-league striker
by Tony Hudd
CHARLTON have completed the £50,000 signing of Dulwich Hamlet striker Chris Dickson on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
The deal was agreed on Monday after the 22-year-old made an instant impact, scoring twice on his Charlton debut for the reserves in last week's 5-1 win over Fulham at Motspur Park.
The move is good news for former club Erith and Belvedere who had a 25 per cent sell-on clause inserted when he moved to Dulwich last year.

Dickson signs
note he can't play for the 'first team' which tends to suggest he can play for the ressies.
And a pre-season game not far away at Champion Hill Sainsbury's to look forward to.
It's a disgrace ;)
A tad ironic, although if we we had picked Dicko up at E+B then pre-season would have been a bit samey.
I don't diagree, but it's a big step from semi-pro football at Dulwich Hamlet to the Premiership and then be dunked straight into a relegation battle.
Signing him now will give him plenty of time to get to the level of fitness required.
Just like Pouso you mean?
Agreed, this is definately one for the future and a punt at best. He isn't even near playing in the top levels of non-league, and at 22 is no youngster either.
He must have something though, otherwise the club wouldn't of risked it.
He obviously has something about him but two goals against a very young fulham reserve team are not enought to say that he should be playing in the first team straight away IMHO.
Let's hope he learns at the training ground, improves and scores a shed load of goals in the Prem next year but let's not burden him with too much expectation too soon.
I accept the point about him needing time. It just seems ludicrous to me that the rules on the "window" are so restrictive.
He will go far that lad ;-)

well I thought it was midly amusing...
