The on-off saga of Linvoy Primus' loan move to Championship outfit Charlton has finally gone through.

The Portsmouth defender has penned a three-month deal with the Addicks, returning to the club where he began his career back in 1992.

The 34-year-old told Pompey's official website: "It's good. I have a connection to Charlton and I'm also going to be close to my family.

"And it's a great opportunity for me to play football at a high standard, with a club who have ambitions and are moving forward.

"Initially it was a little bit out of the blue when I was asked if I would consider going out on loan. I thought about it for a little while, but the answer had to be yes, really.

"It's a chance for me to get fit - match fit that is - and to play regular football, which I need to do."
