Charlton sign Lita on short loan

The 23-year-old striker scored 14 goals for the Royals last season but has struggled to force his way into the first team this term.

Lita was injured on the eve of the new campaign when he hurt his leg while stretching in bed.

Last week the Addicks added to their attacking options with the loan of Scott Sinclair from Chelsea.

"Leroy has been frustrated at his lack of first-team action recently," Royals boss Steve Coppell told the club website.

"This loan move will be a perfect way for him to retain match sharpness at the highest level of Championship competition."
