Noel Hunt looks set to feature for Southend United’s under-21 team against AFC Wimbledon this afternoon.

The experienced Irishman returned from a knee injury as a second half substitute in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Bradford City.

And he will now be pushing his claims for another year with the Shrimpers in today’s clash with the Dons which concludes the season for the team.

Gary Deegan could also start in midfield along with Franck Moussa.
