Happy home helps Holland move

Family man Matt Holland clinched his £750,000 (€1.06m) switch from Ipswich to Charlton today and then spoke of his delight that his wife and children do not have to uproot from Essex.

The Ipswich captain, 29, moved on a four-year contract in a deal which could rise to £900,000 (€1.27m) – as Town will get £50,000 (€70.9m) a season for the next three years if the Addicks retain their top-flight status.
