Konchesky was born in Barking and began his career and West Ham’s Youth Academy before joining Charlton. He also made his solo England appearance in the international friendly against Australia at Upton Park in 2003.
Pardew said of the signing, “Paul is a major signing for the Club. He is only 24, but has well over 100 Premier League games to his name, and I feel that he can only get better from here.
“He has played for England and will bring proven Premiership experience to the team.
“His great strength is going forward from full-back and that could be a real asset to our team this season.
“Along with Danny Gabbidon and James Collins, Paul is a top young player who will integrate well into our young squad.”
