Darren Pratley’s early header sealed a 1-0 win over QPR which moves the Addicks further clear of the drop zone.

McGeady played 60 minutes before being replaced.

Kazaiah Sterling free to find a new club

Former Sunderland loanee Kazaiah Sterling is free to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to reports.

Football Insider claim that the striker – who netted once during a fairly forgettable loan spell at the Stadium of Light during the 2018/19 campaign – has been told he will be allowed to move on should any interest arise this summer.

Sterling remains under contract with Spurs, but is well down the pecking order at the Premier League club.

He spent underwhelming loan spells with Doncaster Rovers and Leyton Orient this season.

Gillingham target double swoop

Elsewhere in League One, Gillingham are hopeful of striking deals to bring Jordan Roberts and Jordan Graham back to the club next season.

The duo spent time on loan at Priestfield last season from Ipswich and Wolves respectively, and manager Steve Evans is hopeful an agreement can be struck to bring them back once the 2020/21 campaign begins.

“My chats with them will continue over the next week or so,” he said.

“They are certainly players we would absolutely welcome working with again, for sure.”

League One boss rules-out taking Bolton job

Plymouth Argyle boss Ryan Lowe has ruled-out taking the vacant managerial post at Bolton.

Lowe, who led the Pilgrims to promotion last season, is one of the names linked with the vacancy – but insists he won’t be going anywhere this summer.

"We've had back-to-back promotions so of course people are potentially going to want to hire us,” he said.

"Who knows where football takes you in the future but at this moment in time I'm fully committed to Plymouth Argyle.”
