Former skipper Carlos Edwards has agreed to join his loan club Millwall on a one-year deal. The 35-year-old was out of contract at Town this summer.
The Lions were unbeaten during Edwards’s eight games on loan towards the end of the season as they escaped relegation with the former Luton and Wrexham man, who scored one goal, largely playing at right-back.
The Trinidad and Tobago international told the Lions official site that the relegation battle didn’t even come into his thoughts when he made the move to the Den, his opportunities having been limited during his final season with the Blues.
"I didn't even think about the league position, to be honest,” he said. "I was just really keen to go to Millwall and play, and it soon became clear to me that we had enough in the dressing room to go on a run and get the results we needed.
"For me it was really exciting because we were playing good football and getting wins and draws every game, so I was enjoying myself. To stay up was great and now I'm delighted to be joining the club on a permanent basis and really looking forward to next season.”
Edwards made 170 starts and 21 substitute appearances for the Blues, scoring 10 goals, having been signed by Roy Keane from his former club Sunderland for £1.35 million in the summer of 2009.
