Southend United captain Adam Barrett said he is happy to fill-in at left-back for the Shrimpers.

Barrett played in the position in their victory over Bristol Rovers last Saturday, to accommodate loan signing Dorian Dervite in the back four.

"I get the chance to get forward a little bit more, which I do enjoy doing," he told BBC Essex.

"Obviously I'm a centre-half and that's my main position, but I'll play there as long as I'm needed to."

He added: "I don't mind at all, whatever's the best for the team at the time I'm prepared to do."

Barrett is due to stay in that position for this weekend's trip to Swindon.
