Southend have re-signed defender Adam Barrett on a permanent deal until the end of the season.
Barrett played more than 250 games for the Shrimpers between 2004 and 2010 before joining Crystal Palace and was a key figure in the Blues' rise to the Championship during his first stint at Roots Hall. The 35-year-old, who captained Gillingham to the League Two title in 2013, returns to the club following his departure from the Gills. "He's a real leader and a fans' favourite during his time at the club previously," Southend boss Phil Brown told the club's official website. "He's determined, knows the division very well and has a determination and desire to do well here and help us achieve our goals."
