Charlton have been spurned in their bid to sign Southend's transfer-listed midfielder Nicky Bailey.

Addicks boss Alan Pardew put in an offer for the player on Thursday but was informed his valuation did not match Southend's.

The 24-year-old was made available for transfer in June after snubbing the offer of a contract extension at Roots Hall.

Bailey joined the Blues from Barnet last July for £175,000 and was a virtual ever-present last season, making over 50 appearances and scoring 12 goals.

In other news, Charlton have confirmed new signing Mark Hudson will captain the side next season.
