Interest in third choice keeper

Ashley Maynard-Brewer may be offered the kilt in this transfer window.  Richard Cawley reports that at least one Scottish club is interested in Charlton's third choice stopper.

Maynard-Brewer had an extended spell on loan at Ross County before their fall down to the Championship where the Staggies are struggling  However, his spell there was interrupted by a broken nose.  Returning to the Dingwall (population 6,000) club might not be an attractive proposition.

However, local sources suggest that some players are moving south of the border so there may be room for recruitment.

Australian Maynard-Brewer was originally with a club in Jondaloop which is a northern suburb of Perth WA.  I recall staying at a golf club there where the greens were populated by kangatoos.

Maynard-Brewer was recommended to then chief scout Chapple by former Australian Addicks keeper Andy Petterson, arriving in SE7 at the age of fifteen.

He has had six loans while at Charlton, but has made 87 appearances for the Addicks.  He ranks sixth for appearances in the current squad.

Nathan Jones has previously said that he wants to retain three senior keepers.
