Free agent Chris Eagles joins Charlton Athletic

Chris Eagles says that he is "over the moon" to have joined Charlton Athletic on a free contract until the end of the season.

Chris Eagles has completed his move to Charlton Athletic until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old joins the Addicks on a free contract following a short stint at Blackpool, and is eligible to feature against Wigan Athletic on Friday night.

Eagles, who has been training at the club this week, said after completing his transfer that he is now eager to get going.

"We touched base [with Charlton] last season, but Bolton wouldn't let me come," he told Charlton's official website. "I came down Monday, trained, had a fitness test and everything was alright. Then on Wednesday night I agreed to it. I just wanted to get it done.

"I've had a great feeling about being here, it's a massive club. I'm over the moon to be here and as soon as I knew they wanted to sign me it didn't matter what they offered me I just wanted to be here."

Athletic head coach Guy Luzon added: "He will be with us tomorrow and I am sure he will help us. He is an attacking midfielder who can also play behind a striker. He is a player with quality and a good character."

Eagles has made seven appearances in the Championship this season, scoring one goal which came in Blackpool's 2-2 draw against Charlton in December.
