Southend United have taken Ryan Clarke on loan from Bristol Rovers.

Southend United have taken Ryan Clarke on loan from Bristol Rovers.

The Shrimpers are struggling for goalkeepers with Darryl Flahavan banned and second choice Bart Griemink injured.

Manager Steve Tilson even went as far as to signing comedian Terry Alderton, who starred in Sky One's The Match.

Alderton has been registered as a goalkeeper for the club he supports, but now he at least will not be needed to start a match.

Clarke has arrived on a month-long deal but Rovers have an immediate recall clause in the transfer.
