SOUTHEND United manager Paul Sturrock is mulling over a move for Crystal Palace left-back Lee Hills.

The 21-year-old impressed playing as a trialist for Blues in their 3-1 win against Braintree Town on Tuesday night.

And Sturrock admitted to being pleased with the defender’s display.

“I thought Lee played well and I’ve spoken to him already,” said Sturrock.

“I will sleep on things tonight, mull it over and then have another chat with him.”

Hills has made 47 appearances for Palace and has also spent time on loan with both Colchester United and Oldham Athletic.
