SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown is still waiting to hear if Noel Hunt will be staying with the Shrimpers.

The Irish striker has been offered a new deal to remain at Roots Hall.

But the 33-year-old has yet to make up his mind.

“Noel is away at the moment but we haven’t heard back from him about what he wants to do yet," confirmed Brown.

Blues are also still in contract talks with midfielder Franck Moussa and remain confident of being able to sort out a deal.
