West Ham United defender Matthew Fry is happy with his loan move to Charlton Athletic.

Fry hopes to help the Addicks reach the League One playoffs.

He told whufc.com: "I am definitely looking forward to it. Charlton are a quite a high-profile team. I went to Gillingham in the beginning of the season, which was a good experience but it is nice that Charlton wanted me. It has all worked out nicely.

"I need matches. As a young player you are limited for first-team football. You always look to gain experience elsewhere and it is nice to have them come in. Huddersfield on Saturday was too soon, if I am honest, having come back from a knee injury. I want to be 110 per cent before i can play.

"The club will watch me closely. I am away from West Ham but not, because they do watch and they see it as a chance for me to get stronger. If I go out and do well, they will see it. I will try to do my best."
