Charlton youngster Josh Wright says he is now targeting the first team after impressing while on loan at Barnet.

Despite not playing a full season at Underhill, Wright still picked up the young player of the year award.

The 18-year-old told the club website that he now wants to follow the likes of Scott Wagstaff, Jonjo Shelvey and Grant Basey into Charlton's first team.

"Alan Pardew told me he wanted me to go there a boy and come back a man and I think I have," Wright said.

Season 2007-08 was a breakthrough season for the teenager who also played for England under-19s.
