Keeper joins Addicks
Charlton Athletic, 18:31, October 28, 2009 ,
Charlton have moved to replace Robbie Elliott by signing Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme on a month's loan deal.
The Addicks have been rocked by the news that Elliott is facing a spell on the sidelines after he tore an adductor muscle during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Gillingham and Parkinson has wasted no time in drafting in a replacement.
Ikeme will spend the next month on loan at the Valley but there is every chance it will be extended if he impresses.
"Robbie Elliot is out for up to six weeks and we couldn't go into this busy period with only one goalkeeper so we're delighted to bring in Carl on loan," Parkinson revealed.
"Carl is a good goalkeeper. He offers a big, physical presence and we're looking forward to working with him. He won't be able to play for us in the FA Cup, but he will be available for league games and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy."
