Addicks snap up full-back Jackson
Charlton signed left-back Johnnie Jackson on a month's loan from League Two side Notts County on Thursday.
The 27-year-old, who played under Phil Parkinson at Colchester United, has been brought in following injury to Grant Basey and is likely to start against Yeovil on Saturday.
Addicks boss Parkinson said: "With the injury to Grant on Monday and the absence of Kelly Youga, we have not got a recognised left-back in the club.
"John can play in midfield or left-back, but I have predominantly brought him in to play left-back.
"He was the first ever signing I made at Colchester. He is a good footballer, is good on the ball and has a good set-piece delivery - so we're pleased to have him on board."
London-born Jackson, who started his career at Tottenham, was signed by Notts County in the summer and has been a regular first-teamer.
However, he was looking to return to the capital to be closer to his pregnant partner.
Jackson played on loan at Colchester when Parkinson was in charge and later joined the Essex side on a permanent deal.
There he became a fans favourite and won player of the year in 2008.
