Charlton Athletic chairman Richard Murray has taken full control of the club following a share buyout, reports BBC Sport.

Murray, who negotiated for the purchase of shares in the League One club and Charlton Athletic Holdings Ltd., has said, “We will now go forward and actively seek new investment. This has been a critical time. Our future was uncertain, and this was potentially one of our darkest hours."

He added, "There is still a lot of work to be done. We intend to be competitive this season, and if we need to pay a small fee to prise one or two people away from their clubs, then we will do that. I can assure supporters we're working as hard as we can within the resources we have available."

Murray is optimistic about the chances of Charlton Athletic next season and is considering investing in squad strengthening.
