Stoke City have re-signed Charlton Athletic defender Jonathan Fortune on loan until the end of the season.

Fortune made four appearances for the Potters during an initial loan spell at the Britannia Stadium in February before being recalled to cover for a defensive injury crisis at the Premiership strugglers.

The 26-year-old made one Premiership appearance in the 2-2 draw with Watford last weekend but has now been allowed to return to the Championship play-off chasers.

"We are delighted he is back - we never wanted to lose him in the first place," assistant boss Dave Kemp told the club's official website.

"He was exceptional for us before and hopefully he can do exactly the same this time round."
