JACOB Murphy has joined League Two outfit Southend United on loan until the end of the season.The winger links up with Under-21s teammate Jamar Loza at Roots Hall as United push for a play-off place.
Loza made headlines on his home debut on Monday, scoring and earning the Man of the Match award as Phil Brown's side beat Oxford United 3-0.
Murphy made seven appearances while completing a similar loan spell with Swindon Town earlier this season, soon after the youngster made his first-team debut against Fulham in the FA Cup in January.
He will be eligible for Southend's next League Two match against Torquay United at Roots Hall this Saturday.
