SOUTHEND United have added a goalkeeper to their squad ahead of this afternoon's match at Woking.

Nick Hayes has signed on a month long loan from Ipswich Town.

The 24-year-old played as a youngster with Norwich City and Ipswich before going on to play first team football for Hemel Hempstead Town, Salford City and Woking.

Hayes returned to Ipswich in January 2022 but has yet to make his senior debut.
