Andre Green has had his loan at Preston North End cut short

The 21-year-old joined PNE on a season-long loan from Aston Villa in August but played only six times - two starts in the Carabao Cup and four Championship appearances from the bench.

Five of those games were in August, with his only appearance since then being as a late substitute against Leeds United at Deepdale in October.

Green's one goal in a North End shirt came in the 4-0 win at Bradford in the Carabao Cup.

Charlton have moved for Green to replace Jonathan Leko who has suffered a long-term knee injury.

Addicks manager Lee Bowyer said: "We’re looking forward to working with him. He’s a young, exciting player who is quick. Last season he helped Villa get into the Premier League, so for me it is very exciting.

“You need a bit of pace in the team and Andre has that."
