Charlton recall Dickson
21 Dec 2007 - 15:56:51
Charlton Athletic have recalled in-form striker Chris Dickson from his loan spell with League One outfit Gillingham.
The youngster has netted an incredible 11 goals in 14 games for the Gills and was expected to play the final game of his three-month spell on Friday as Gillingham take on Brighton at the Withdean.
However, with the change of events, Dickson goes straight into the Addicks squad for tomorrow's home clash with Hull City.
Dickson, who turns 23 on December 28th, has been summoned earlier by manager Alan Pardew due to the uncertain availability of strikers Luke Varney and Chris Iwelumo, which leaves Izale McLeod as the only recognised striker at the club.
To cap off an incredible period of Dickson's career, he was also recently named in Ghana's preliminary squad for the African Cup of Nations.
Dickson also had a small loan this season spell at Crewe Alexandra, where he only made three appearances.
