Dundee Utd sign Charlton keeper Maynard-Brewer
- Published
Dundee United have signed "terrific" goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer from Charlton Athletic for an undisclosed fee on an initial six-month deal.
Maynard-Brewer, 26, helped Charlton win promotion from League One last season but has made just one appearance this term.
The academy graduate spent almost a decade at Charlton and had various loan spells, including helping Ross county to a sixth-place Scottish Premiership finish in 2021-22.
Born in England and raised in Australia, Maynard-Brewer played at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with the Socceroos Under-23s.
He will compete with Dave Richards for the starting spot at United following Yevhen Kucherenko's departure earlier this month.
"He is a terrific young goalkeeper as far as we are concerned, he knows the league having spent a loan spell at Ross County four seasons ago," said United manager Jim Goodwin.
"He is a lot more experienced now for the opportunities he has had at Charlton and we believe we are getting a really good goalkeeper to come in and compete for that first-place slot.
"We were light in that department anyway, it is a position we have been working hard on since the beginning of the window. I am delighted to get Ashley over the line."
