Jonathan Fortune is returning to Charlton Athletic as one of three new signings made by boss Phil Parkinson on the eve of transfer deadline day.

Fortune rejoins the Addicks on a short-term contract until Christmas following the end of his spell at Sheffield United last season.

The 30-year-old centre-back - who made 195 appearances for the club during his first spell - has been training with the Addicks throughout pre-season as he bids to get back to full-fitness following an achilles injury which proceeded his departure from the Valley in 2009.

Parkinson (pictured) has also swooped to sign 30-year-old Dagenham & Redbridge striker Paul Benson for an undisclosed fee and 25-year-old ex-Carlisle attacker Joe Anyinsah on a free.
