Morrison has made eight appearances for the League One side

Southend United are hopeful of extending the loan of Swindon Town defender Sean Morrison.

The 18-year-old joined the Blues for an initial one-month spell in November, but his current extension is due to end after Saturday's visit of Walsall.

Morrison has been regular in the Blue's defence, making eight starts.

Southend boss Steve Tilson told the club website: "We've spoken to Swindon about extending his loan and we're waiting for them to get back to us."

Tilson has also welcomed back Kevin Betsy and Alex Revell from their respective loan spells at Wycombe Wanderers and Swindon.
