Craig Easton will leave Southend United says agent
Former Swindon and Shrimpers skipper Craig Easton's agent has confirmed speculation that he is indeed leaving the club. Craig Easton: Agent confirms he's off! So the talking seems to have stopped and Captain Craig Easton does look as if he's on his way from Roots Hall after refusing a new deal. The former Swindon midfielder joined the club during Blues boss Paul Sturrock's summer revolution and was immediatly names the Shrimeprs skipper. Though having the odd spell out with injury Easton has been a hard worker in the Southend engine room and many believe has been a great help in the rise to fame of Kane Ferdinand, allowing the young Irishman to play further forward. We will also not forget that last minute winner against Wycombe Wanderers in a hurry! However, as he approaches the veteran stage a drop in pay, presuming that was what the club was offering, after his present one year deal ended led to the news that he was indeed talking to cubs in both League Two and Scotland, he has five years at Dundee United, and this has all now been confirmed by Easton's agent, Clive Hart. Hart told www.skysports.com: "Craig has turned down the offer of a new deal at Southend and will leave the club. Craig is a free agent and I am talking to a number of clubs about a possible deal for him." This will leave Luggy hoping that Crystal Palace midfielder Alassane N'Diaye does indeed sign on the dotted line with an answer expected sometime Wednesday as the Eagles youngster looks over personal terms covering a season long loan. Whether this also means the club are still lokking at former loanee and out of contract Swindon Town midfielder Michael Timlin we will wait and see.
