On 25 March 2010, John Sullivan signed a one-year extension with the club, that will keep him until the next season. [6]
John Sullivan signed a one-month loan deal with Yeovil Town, having impressed manager Terry Skiverton in Darren Way's benefit match – a 3–2 victory over a Manchester United XI – when John was in trial with the club. [7] Upon the move, John Sullivan said I John is expected to play more regularly, rather than spending time on the bench. [8] John made his debut for the club, in the opening game of the season, with a 2–1 win over Leyton Orient. After the match, John Sullivan soon desired to stay at the club [9] and his wish came true by having his loan spell extended until 3 January 2011. [10] Having retained his first choice goalkeeper in the early of the season, Sullivan soon lost his first team place in goal after suffering an injury and was replaced by Stephen Henderson. [11] [12] After Henderson loan spell with the club is up and returned to his parent club in November, Sullivan retained his first-choice in goalkeeping.

[17] Sullivan made his first appearance for Charlton after signing permanently in the summer when he came on as a sixth-minute substitute against Leyton Orient after Ben Hamer was sent off for handling the ball outside his area. [18]
The next season, Sullivan was told by manager Chris Powell he will be loaned out, to earn more playing time. [19] Eventually on 9 November 2012, he signed on a one-month loan to League One side Colchester United [20] He joined Colchester United for the replacement for Mark Cousins, who is being on the sidelines. After making his debut against Crewe, Sullivan says joined the club, citing playing time as the main reason.
