SOUTHEND United defender Josh Coulson has joined King’s Lynn Town on a month long loan deal.

The 33-year-old centre-back joined the Shrimpers last summer following his release from Leyton Orient and has made nine appearances this term.

But Coulson will now be with King’s Lynn, who sit second from bottom in the National League, for the next four weeks and made his debut in this afternoon's 3-0 win at home to Weymouth.
