TOWN'S League One rivals Southend United have won the race to sign Bristol City winger Kevin Betsy.

The 30-year-old, a long-time target for County Ground boss Maurice Malpas, opted for a switch to Roots Hall for a nominal fee last night.

"A few sides in League One and League Two showed some interest but for me it was coming to see the manager and hearing his ethos which suited me," Betsy told Southend's official website.

The news could renew Malpas's interest in wing Mark Marshall, who trialled with Town this summer and is also being tracked by Bournemouth.
