Jeffers returns

There was dancing in the streets of SE7 as the news broke that the 'fox in the box' Francis Jeffers is returning from his loan spell at Rangers where he failed to score in fourteen appearances. Night clubs in the New Cross area are also putting out the welcome mat.

Jeffers' agent Struan Marshall said: 'Franny will be returning to Charlton on 1 January We have spoken to Rangers and they have decided not to follow up their interest.

'They feel he just hasn't done it for them. Franny is disappointed because he didn't have the best of luck with injuries in Scotland but we just have to accept Rangers' decision and look to try to make an impact at Charlton.' Some hope.
