SOUTHEND United manager Sol Campbell had words of praise for goalkeeper Harry Seaden after the young shot-stopper made his Shrimpers debut against Gillingham.

Seaden replaced the injured Mark Oxley between the sticks.

And Campbell was pleased with how the 18-year-old performed.

"Harry came in and did really well," said Campbell.

"He’s 18 years old and he’s starting his career.

"He made some good decisions and we’re happy he’s here because otherwise we would be playing an under 16."
