Southend United boss Steve Tilson has revealed he expects Jamal Campbell-Ryce to leave Roots Hall and sign for Barnsley.

The Jamaica international was left out of the squad that defeated Millwall 1-0 at the weekend, with Tilson explaining he believes Campbell-Ryce will join the Championship club before the transfer window closes.

"We both decided it would be best to leave him out against Millwall," he revealed.

"It's no secret that Barnsley are keen to sign him."

The 24-year-old joined the Shrimpers last summer on a free transfer from Rotherham.
