SOUTHEND United boss Kevin Maher will continue to keep tabs on trialist midfielder Rafferty Pedder.

The ex Queens Park Rangers youngster played the full 90 minutes for Blues against Ballyfermot United last night.

And Maher admitted to being impressed by his performance.

“Raff’s been good and he’s got something,” said Maher.

“He’s got a spark in how he plays and still has plenty to learn too.

“We’ll keep an eye on him and see where we go moving forward.”
