The midfielder, who joined them from Newcastle in July 2005, experienced relegation from the Premier League in 2007 and they now look set to drop into the third tier of English football. Charlton, who face Reading tonight, are 12 points adrift from safety.

And 25-year-old Ambrose, whose contract expires in the summer, said: "We know what the challenge is and we are fighting for our lives to get out of it.

"You don't want to be involved in relegation but I know what it feels like from when we dropped out of the Premier League.

"I am gutted at what has happened. I love Charlton, I love the place. I love the training ground and being around the players. I love The Valley.

"I've not really thought too much about the future but the ideal scenario would be us getting out of the situation we are in and then talking to Charlton about a new contract. I'd like to stay.

"I've no doubt that in five years we will be back in the Premier League."
