Benson was expected to join Bradford on Thursday's loan deadline day, but the move fell through at the last minute.

Charlton are willing to loan out Benson as the former Dagenham & Redbridge man is will down the pecking order in Chris Powell's plans.
Swindon are believed to have agreed a deal with Charlton for Benson, but are now awaiting confirmation from the Football League that the move went through before Thursday's 5pm deadline.
