Derby-linked Bowyer signs Charlton contract extension

Charlton have announced that manager Lee Bowyer has signed a contract extension.

The news comes just a day after the Addicks revealed that the former midfielder had rejected an offer and looked set to leave amid reports that Derby had identified him as their ideal successor to Frank Lampard.

After just one year with the Rams, Lampard is being linked with the vacant position at Chelsea after Maurizio Sarri left to take over at Juventus.
