Defender arrives on short-term deal

Charlton have moved to solve their defensive crisis by signing Elliot Omozusi on a short-term deal. As revealed by skysports.com Charlton have drafted in former Fulham defender Omozusi to bolster their squad. Addicks boss Phil Parkinson brought in Omosuzi after regular right-backs Frazer Richardson and Chris Solly both suffered injuries. "We've signed Elliot for an initial month because we were left without a recognised right-back," Parkinson told the club's official website. "Elliot is a good young player, and he has impressed us this week, in training and in the reserve game against Dagenham & Redbridge on Tuesday." Although technically recruited on loan from Fulham until 1st December, Omozusi is actually out of contract. "The situation is a bit complicated because Fulham still hold his registration, so it's not a normal loan," Parkinson continued. "We've had to take him on a month contract, but we also have the option to make it permanent in January."
