16 July 2010 23:00
Charlton manager Phil Parkinson has made former loan star Kyel Reid his fourth new signing of the summer. Winger Reid, 23, who impressed on the left during a loan spell at The Valley during the second half of last season, has been recruited on a free transfer from Sheffield United. Parkinson told the official website: "We're delighted Kyel has agreed to join us. We've been working on the transfer throughout the summer and it's great to get it done. He's an out-and-out winger and it's an important signing. "Kyel did well when he was with us last season and I also believe he's the type of player who will benefit from a good run of games. I know he also had offers from Championship clubs, so I know he's ready for the challenge." Reid bagged four goals in 17 league appearances for the Addicks last season and made eight appearances for the Blades - seven as substitute. Reid becomes Parkinson's fourth new recruit this summer following the arrivals of Gary Doherty, Alan McCormack and Johnnie Jackson. The club has also agreed new contracts with Christian Dailly, Scott Wagstaff, Chris Solly and Alex Stavrinou.
