Ben Thatcher - SQUAD NUMBER 33

The Welsh international put pen to paper on a contract in August 2008. The Swindon born left-back started his career at Millwall and made 90 appearances for the Lions before joining Wimbledon in a £1.8m move in 1996. He spent four years with the Londoners then moved to Tottenham in a £5m move in the summer of 2000. Three years and 36 games later he joined Leicester, making 29 appearances for the Foxes before being snapped up by Manchester City in the summer of 2004. The defender spent three years at City, with 47 games under his belt before joining Charlton in a £500,000 move in January 2007. After coming to the end of his contract at the Valley in the summer, he has opted for Portman Road despite interest from Premier League West Ham. Capped seven times by Wales, he also represented England at U21 level.
