AFC Wimbledon have signed goalkeeper Lewis Ward on a one-year contract.
The 27-year-old made eight appearances for Swindon Town last season before joining Charlton Athletic in January.
He has made 63 League Two appearances across his time with Forest Green Rovers, Exeter City, Sutton United and Swindon but did not feature for the Addicks in League One.
“It’s an exciting challenge to come into,” Ward told Wimbledon’s website.
“You want to have healthy competition between two goalkeepers who are pushing each other and working hard to win the shirt.
“Hopefully whoever comes in next can help to strengthen the group and we can drive each other on,”
Former Crystal Palace coach Dave Reddington has also joined the Dons’ backroom staff as a replacement for the long-serving Rob Turvey, who departed on Sunday.
