Charlton Sign Conor Coady on Loan From Wrexham Until Season's End

Nathan Jones says the former Wolves captain arrives to provide leadership during Charlton's relegation fight.

Overview

  • Coady, 32, joins for the remainder of the campaign and is available to debut against former club Leicester at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
  • Charlton’s manager cited the defender’s experience and suitability for a three-centre-back setup, calling for his leadership over the final 18 games, and he becomes their sixth January addition.
  • Coady moved to Wrexham from Leicester on August 1 on a two-year deal but has not started a league match since a defeat to QPR on September 13.
  • Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson wished Coady well, noting the move gives him a chance to return to regular first-team action.
  • The switch takes Coady from a promotion-chasing Wrexham side into a survival scrap, with Charlton 19th and three points above the drop while Wrexham sit in the play-off places.
