Charlton have appointed former Hull manager Phil Parkinson as assistant to Alan Pardew.

The 39-year-old former Dell trainee worked with Pardew when they were at Reading before going on to take over at Colchester and guide the Essex club into the Coca-Cola Championship.

However, his subsequent spell at Hull this season did not prove as successful, and he parted company with the Tigers in early December following a 4-2 home loss to Saints.
