Headline: Millwall Signs Lyndon Dykes to Enhance Squad Depth
Millwall has secured the signing of Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes on a one-year deal following the conclusion of his contract with Charlton Athletic.
The 30-year-old forward brings experience to the team, having earned 53 caps for Scotland and been part of their World Cup squad this summer. Dykes previously featured in 20 matches for Charlton, netting three goals after joining the club in January. He had been offered a new contract to remain at Charlton.
“He’s a genuine target man—physical, hard to knock off the ball, and someone who’ll give defenders a different problem to deal with,” stated Millwall director of football Steve Gallen on the club’s website. “We’ve also seen how demanding this League can be, so he also adds some key depth in the attacking area.”
Dykes is now Millwall’s ninth signing of the summer and has a history with Birmingham City, where he scored seven goals in 55 appearances. His career began in Scotland with Queen of the South and Livingston before a notable four-year stint at QPR, where he made over 160 appearances.
