A LEAGUE Two club have expressed an interest in signing Southend United striker Lee Barnard on loan.

The 30-year-old has not featured for Blues since October.

But Shrimpers boss Phil Brown is not yet sure how serious the side, who he did not want to name, are on snapping up Barnard.

“We had an enquiry about Barney from a League Two club and we’re waiting to see if they follow it up,” said Brown.

“I’m not too sure if they were just trying to find out a bit more and if they were trying to get him on the cheap by paying a bit of his wages.

“But only time will tell if they will be back in touch with us.”
