Michał Żyro signs on Loan from Wolves
The 25-year-old – a full Poland international – is left footed and can play as a centre forward as well as out wide.
Żyro becomes the Addicks’ second signing of the January transfer window, joining Stephy Mavididi, and Manager Karl Robinson is excited to have the front-man on board.
He said: “Michał is tall, athletic, has range in his movement and will offer something that we have not got. He can play up top in a one, or alongside Josh Magennis in a two, and he is very hungry to show what he can do.
“He can play with his back to goal and, having spoken to him, he wanted to come to a club that are striving to achieve success come the end of the season.”
Żyro began his career at Legia Warsaw – making senior bow at the age of 17 – and in January 2016 he signed for Wolves.
An injury hampered his progress at Molineux but now back fit he is eager to help Charlton to promotion to the second tier.
He said: “I’m delighted to sign for Charlton. This is a good move for me and now I want to prove to everyone that I am healthy and show my abilities on the pitch.
“I have really enjoyed my time in England so far. Charlton is a very big, famous club – I remember watching Darren Bent score goals for Charlton in the Premier League on TV when I was younger – and I know that I will be happy here with my family.”

Had a year and a half out just three months after signing for Wolves. Hasn't played since August, and that was a sub appearance.
All the best Michal! Welcome to Charlton and here's hoping you're on form, match fit and prolific for these next four months or so.19 -

A welcome addition, let’s hope he stays injury free and does a job for us.1

How long is the loan?0

Pleasantly surprised at this signing. A real game changer for us if fit. He is a player we desperately needed and more so then Ricky Holmes imo.0

Chances of that being a perm if we managed to get promoted would be high I think. All depends on the guys fitness because he deffinately has enough quality for our level and above.ricky_otto said:

But Polish Zyro doesn't work does it?1

Nice to hear a player (especially foreign) know a little about the club already.4
-
No doubt a good player and if he has the right attitude, I'm sure he'll fit in nicely.
Just worried that he's a bit rusty after so long out. How long will it take to get him truly match fit?

Not tall enough.0

Sounds like a decent addition.
I look forward to seeing him join the ranks of ventokele as he'll be forever spelled "Zorro"4 -

I see he has spent 14 months out after having his knee fractured in a tackle by Anthony Kay - wasnt Kay involved in another 'incident' with one of our players whilst he was at Huddersfield?0

Welcome to the valley.
Now score a few goals to keep us in the top six and become a Charlton hero0 -
Rubbish signing because I do not have two letters in his name on my keyboard.
I hope he turns out as well as Polish Pete. Are we sure it is not him under an alias?2 -
This is an amazing signing for a L1 club and the others around the playoffs will fear us more now. As ever with Roland we wonder what the catch is, but this seems to give us plenty of forward threat6
