Cardiff City Academy product Stuart Fleetwood in back in league football and at Championship level too after signing a contract with Charlton Athletic.
Fleetwood always looked a useful player but his character wasn't right at City and he was discarded by Dave Jones with few appearences and fell away firstly with Hereford United and then into the non-league game with Forest Green Rovers. However he revived himself last season, netting 36 goals to make him leading Conference scorer and that brough him to the attention of league clubs.
Forest Green Rovers must be kicking themselves after Fleetwood himself turned down a January transfer to Crewe for a reported £200,000. Four months on, he can walk away for nothign although there is the matter of a compensation fee to be agreed.
