Charlton Athletic sign Ricardo Vaz Te on free transfer

Charlton Athletic have signed former West Ham United striker Ricardo Vaz Te on a free transfer.

The 29-year-old, who spent three years playing for the Hammers, has been searching for a club since leaving Turkish outfit Akhisar Belediyespor in July.

The forward, who has been capped at Under-23 level for Portugal, has put pen to paper on a contract that will run until the end of the season.

Vaz Te could make his debut for the Addicks against Birmingham City at St Andrew's after the international break on November 21.

Charlton are currently in the relegation zone in the Championship table, four points above bottom place.
