Despite being unable to prevent the club from an inevitable drop towards League One, Kandol has done enough personally with a number of workmanlike displays.
That has been enough to persuade Parkinson that the much-travelled frontman is the ideal candidate to spearhead Charlton's promotion push next term. "I'd love to sign him permanently," he told the club's official website.
"He's been excellent and I think he'll get better as well. Despite his age, he hasn't had a lot of League football and I think he's got a lot of attributes."
Charlton have sold their training ground along with other facilities as the club contemplate the ramifications of relegation to League One.
