Charlton sign Keith Gillespie

13 April 2012

Charlton caretaker boss Phil Parkinson has dived straight into the loan market to snap up winger Keith Gillespie from Sheffield United.

The 33-year-old has signed a deal until January 3 and will go straight into the squad which travels across London to face QPR on Tuesday night.

Gillespie has made just one substitute appearance for United this season, but he played the full 90 minutes for Northern Ireland in last Wednesday's 2-0 defeat by Hungary.
