HARRY Isted has left Charlton Athletic for ambitious League One rivals Burton Albion after one season at The Valley. 

Isted, 27, moved for an undisclosed fee and signed a two-year deal. 

Nordic Football Group bought a majority stake from chairman Ben Robinson this summer and appointed former AFC Wimbledon boss Mark Robinson as head coach. 

Isted made 23 appearances in all competitions for Charlton after joining from Luton Town in the summer of 2023. 

Isted said: “It’s a big moment for me in my career, moving on from Charlton. I think it’s an exciting new chapter at Burton with the takeover and the new board. I think the vision they have and what they’ve done so far is a big reason for me to come here.

“All a footballer wants is that security and somewhere to call home. When you look at the history of the club and the new owners coming in it’s definitely got that family feel to it which is really nice for a footballer.”

Co-owner Bendik Hareide added: “We are pleased to welcome Harry Isted to Burton Albion. Harry is an experienced goalkeeper who fits perfectly into our model. His skills and presence will be a valuable addition to our squad.”

Burton finished 20th last season but have already made a number of eye-catching signings, including Billy Bodin from Oxford United.
