Charlton Athletic: Rachubka extends cobblers stay

Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Paul Rachubka has agreed to extend his loan spell at Northampton Town by a further month.

The American custodian joined the Cobblers last month after number one Lee Harper suffered a broken hand, and has since made five appearances.

Harper is close to full fitness, but Northampton boss Colin Calderwood decided to keep hold of Rachubka for another four weeks anyway.

The 23-year-old joined the Addicks from Manchester United two years ago but is still to make his first-team debut and has previously been loaned out to Burnley, Huddersfield and MK Dons.

Rachubka is one of four Charlton players currently out on loan, with Jamal Campbell-Ryce at Chesterfield, Michael Turner at Brentford and veteran full-back Chris Powell at West Ham.
