Midfielder Lee Martin has joined League One Charlton Athletic on loan for the season. The Addicks were first linked with a move for the 23-year-old a fortnight ago.

Martin moved to Portman Road from Manchester United for a fee understood to be £1.6 million last summer, signing a four-year deal but has failed to live up to his billing.

Town are likely to be paying a large proportion of the former Wimbledon man’s £12,000-a-week wages while the winger is with the south London club.

Martin has been given the number 10 shirt at the Valley and is set to make his debut in a home game against Bournemouth on Saturday.
