SAM Barratt has left Southend United.

The 24-year-old winger had been with the Shrimpers since May 2018.

But Blues boss Mark Molesley confirmed Barratt had now left Roots Hall.

"Sam has left the club and we wish him well with his future," said Molesley.

Barratt made 10 appearances for Blues after suffering a serious cruciate ligament injury shortly after signing.
