Charlton Athletic eyeing contract deal

Charlton Athletic are keen to tie down midfielder Aaron Henry to a new deal. The 19-year-old is highly-rated by the London club and has risen up through their academy ranks. The Addicks’ boss Ben Garner has said, as per a report by London News Online: “I want him to stay. My preference would be to give him a long-term contract and secure his future with this football club. I really like him as a player and as a character. He has got huge potential.”

Fleetwood Town striker loaned out

Fleetwood Town have decided to loan out striker Will Russ to help him get some more experience under his belt. He has linked up with South Shields on a deal until January after recently spending time in non-league with FC United of Manchester.

The youngster will be looking to get plenty of game time in the Northern Premier League Premier Division this winter to boost his development. He has also been on the books of Chesterfield and Leicester City in the past.

South Shields are managed by former Sunderland hero Kevin Phillips so there are few better coaches to learn from.
