Charlton provide update on short-term future of Sunderland's Aiden McGeady

McGeady will now be available for the remaining nine games Charlton have to play, kicking off with today’s trip to Hull City, with football to resume following a three-month suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic.

McGeady fell out of favour under Phil Parkinson and he still has a year left on his current Sunderland deal at the Stadium of Light though it seems certain he will move on this summer.

A Charlton statement read: “It had already been confirmed that Josh Cullen and Sam Field have had their loan deals extended until the end of the 2019/20 campaign to assure their availability for Lee Bowyer’s side past June 30th and they have been joined by a number of other players in making themselves available.

“Naby Sarr, Jonny Williams, Adam Matthews, Tomer Hemed, Jake Forster-Caskey, Lewis Page, Ben Amos, Albie Morgan and Josh Davison were all due to see their current deals expire at the end of June, but will continue to be available throughout July, while loanees Andre Green, Aiden McGeady and Matt Smith have all extended their loans from their parent clubs until the end of the campaign.”

Director of Football, Steve Gallen, said: "It has been a surreal few months with a lot of challenges but I'm very pleased we've been able to get everything sorted ahead of tomorrow's restart. The squad is looking good and the players are excited to be getting back on the pitch."
