Charlton Athletic have signed young goalkeeper Neil Etheridge on loan from Premier League side Fulham.

The 21-year-old Enfield-born Philippine international will go straight into the Addicks squad for Tuesday night’s trip to Milton Keynes.

Etheridge’s signing comes in the wake of a dual weekend injury blow.

Rob Elliot picked up a hip injury in Saturday’s 1-1 home draw against Tranmere, to be replaced by Ross Worner, who then suffered a dead leg.

Etheridge, who was on Chelsea’s books as a schoolboy, is yet to make a first team appearance since making the short move to Fulham in 2006.
