Lining up as a trialist - Blues midfielder Jack Bridge
SOUTHEND United midfielder Jack Bridge lined up as a trialist for Grimsby Town at the weekend.
The 21-year-old – who has been told he is free to leave the Shrimpers – came off the bench in the second half against Wigan Athletic.
But Shrimpers boss Phil Brown has yet to hear back from the Mariners.
“Jack got about 35 minutes in the game against Wigan but I’m still waiting to hear back from Russell Slade,” said Brown.
“As things stand Jack will be playing for our under 21 team against Colchester today.”
Bridge - who came through the youth system at Roots Hall - has made nine appearances for the first team.
However, he started just one game last season.
