HARROGATE Town are interested in signing Southend United goalkeeper Mark Oxley, Echosport understands.

The 30-year-old shot-stopper has been offered a new deal to stay with the Shrimpers.

But Harrogate, who finished 17th in League Two last season and also won the FA Trophy, are keen to take him to the EnviroVent Stadium.

Oxley has made 169 appearances since signing for Blues in 2016.
