Midfielder arrives on free transfer

Charlton have strengthened their squad with the signing of former Southend midfielder Alan McCormack on a free transfer. Southend agreed to cancel the contracts of McCormack and his team-mate Adam Barrett, who has since joined Crystal Palace, after a request from the pair. McCormack has now linked up with the Addicks and manager Phil Parkinson is delighted to have acquired the 26-year-old's services. "I'm really pleased to have Alan on board," he told the club's official website. "The thing that struck me about him more than anything else was his hunger. "Anyone I bring into this club this summer, whether it's a member of staff or a player, has got to relish the challenge, as I am doing, because it's going to be a challenge this season. "Alan fits the bill in terms of his enthusiasm and his hunger to join Charlton. "He's a player I've watched many, many times and I always come away admiring his performance. We look forward to working with him."
