Charlton U21s goalkeeper Finley Woodham has joined Enterprise National League side Southend United on a short-term loan.
The 18-year-old shot-stopper has featured at U21s level on several occasions and played a key role in Jason Pearce’s PDL-winning U18s side last season.
Woodham’s move to the Shrimpers marks the first loan spell of his career so far.
Head of Individual Development Dave Huzzey said: "We’re really excited to give Fin this opportunity to join Southend United on a short-term loan. Southend are one of the biggest clubs at National League level, with a great fanbase and a really competitive first-team environment. The experience Fin will gain from being in and around that environment on a daily basis will be invaluable to his development. We’re looking forward to following his progress and wish him all the best during his time there."
Everyone at the club would like to wish Finley the very best of luck during his time at Roots Hall.
