Charlton sign defender Bell after Luton exit

Bell has won 28 caps for Jamaica and scored against Panama in their Concacaf Gold Cup match last month. "Amari'i's someone I know well. I signed him at Luton and he did fantastically well for me," Charlton manager Nathan Jones told the club website. "He knows how I want to play, he has Championship and Premier League experience, and he's a wonderful athlete with pace and power.

Bell added: "It's a fresh start for me and one that I'm looking forward to as Charlton are on the way back up. "It's another chance to work with Nathan who is a great manager that knows how to get the best out of his players, and he certainly does for me. It's going to be a great time."
