The 31-year old former Birmingham City player is usually used to playing in the left back position but an injury to Florent Laville meant a recall to the side for Charlton following a knee injury in the more unfamiliar role of centre back.
"It wasn't a bad forward line to come up against on your first game back but I thoroughly enjoyed it" he told the clubs official site
He also revealed how he has been waiting for a chance to return to the side following his knee operation in the summer during which time Ricardo Gardner has made the left back role his own with a string of impressive displays.
"I've felt fit and I've been knocking on the gaffer's door for a fortnight telling him that I want to play" added the Yorkshireman
He didn't however give to much away as to whether or not he would consider an extended stay in the middle of the defence
"Well, I'm not looking that far ahead. I don't mind playing there. It might lull strikers into a false sense of security because of my size" he joked
