GOALKEEPER James Hillson has returned to Salisbury City after leaving Southend United.

The shot-stopper had been on the bench for all 13 of the Shrimpers' matches so far this season.

But he has now moved on without making a first team appearance for the National League club.

Salisbury manager Brian Dutton told the club's website: “I am delighted to welcome James back to the Ray Mac.

"He’s a player who was recommended to me by former Reading goalkeeping coach and former teammate of mine, James Bitner, and I’m delighted James has decided to join us once again."

Blues' youth team goalkeeper Charlie Brown is expected to act as back up to Collin Andeng Ndi until a more senior replacement is signed.
