"This is a great move for Cory," confirmed Addicks boss Alan Pardew, "...Holby's medical facilities are first class."

Charlton already have an excellent relationship with Holby City, where former loanees include Gary Rowett, Gary Poole and Matty Holmes.

"He's got a point to prove," admitted Pardew, "...and he's been warned that under no circumstances is he to make a cup of tea, drive his car, change a lightbulb or turn on the gas between the hours of 8pm and 9pm on a Saturday night."
