Charlton striker Andy Gray has completed his move to Championship side Barnsley for an undisclosed fee.

The 31-year-old initially moved to Oakwell on loan on Friday so he would be available for Barnsley's trip to Leicester on Saturday. He played the full 90 minutes in his new side's 1-0 defeat.

Addicks boss Phil Parkinson said: "As a manager you never want to lose players, but unfortunately Andy wanted to go up north.

"He's been knocking on the door every single day for the last four weeks and it was out of my hands.

"It was only when the deal came to the board that financially they felt it was the right one and they decided to let it happen."

He added: "Obviously with Andy Gray his wages were far too high for what we can pay in this division and probably in the Championship, so it was a good move for us but as a manager you look purely at the squad and we'll need to replace him with another striker.

"Other than Deon (Burton) we haven't really got another target man in the building, but over the course of the season we're going to need one."

Gray spent 20 months at The Valley, scoring nine goals in 47 games.
