The official club website of Weston-super-Mare has revealed that defender Jacob Roddy has joined the club on loan.
The youngster has been temporarily permitted to leave through the exit door by Charlton Athletic. He signed a one-month contract to play for his new team.
For the League One squad, Roddy, 20, has so far made four first-team appearances in all competitions. He will now aim to accumulate lots of playing time in the National League South.
This weekend, the prospect is scheduled to make his debut. In the fourth round of FA Cup qualification, Maidenhead United will square off against Weston-super-Mare.
Charlton exit
Roddy’s exit is a chance for him to get some senior experience to help boost his development before he heads back to Charlton.
He was on the books at Southampton’s academy before he moved to The Valley after a successful trial back in 2019.
The Addicks handed him his first appearance in August 2021 in an EFL Trophy clash against AFC Wimbledon before he featured in the league for the first time against Cheltenham Town on the final day of last term.
He is a key player for the U21s but has now been allowed to leave on loan for the first time in his career.
Roddy leaves behind a Charlton side who have a break from the action this weekend due to international call-ups. They were due to play Derby County away.
Michael Appleton’s side are back in action next Saturday at home to Reading as they look to rise up the table. The London outfit are currently five points off the play-offs after their first 11 outings and have a game in-hand on a few teams above them.
