Charlton Athletic manager Alan Pardew has snapped up the highly-rated Dulwich Hamlet striker Chris Dickson in an initial £35,000 deal.
The 22-year-old has penned a contract that will keep him at The Valley until the end of the 2008-09 campaign after completing his switch from the Ryman Division One South side.
Dickson scored 31 goals in 35 games for Dulwich this season and impressed during a recent reserve team match for the Addicks against Fulham's second string.
He is delighted with the move, telling Charlton's official website: "It's like a dream come true to sign for a Premiership club.
"It's a massive step up for me, but I've always been a confident player. I did my best to impress in the reserve game and thought I grabbed my chance with both hands.
"It's a shame I won't be able to play until next season, but I just have to concentrate on having a good pre-season."
