Midfielder Lee Martin has joined League One Charlton Athletic on loan for the season. The Addicks were first linked with a move for the 23-year-old a fortnight ago.
Charlton boss Phil Parkinson says he's delighted to make the signing: "We're really pleased to get Lee in on a year's loan.
"He's a tremendous young player and great acquisition for our squad, He can also play up front or in either wide position.
"What's more, all his family are in Bromley, so he's a local boy.
"It's been another long, protracted deal, but as I've been saying all along, [chairman] Richard [Murray] and I would rather wait for the players we want to fit into the squad and the overall jigsaw we're trying to piece together, and Lee certainly falls into that category.”
Martin moved to Portman Road from Manchester United for a fee reported to be anywhere from £1.6 million to £2 million last summer, signing a four-year deal but has failed to live up to his billing.
Town are likely to be paying a large proportion of the former Wimbledon trainee’s £13,000-a-week wages while the winger is with the south London club.
Martin has been given the number 10 shirt at the Valley and is set to make his debut in a home game against Bournemouth on Saturday.
