GARY Deegan is close to signing a new contract at Southend United.
The tough tackling midfielder has lined up for the Shrimpers in pre-season despite not putting pen to paper on a new deal.
But Blues boss Phil Brown hopes the situation will soon be sorted.
“I’ve been told Gary is now very close to signing a new contract,” said Brown.
“Hopefully we will have something to announce after the game tonight.”
