Sampson: 'Looking forward to the next few weeks ahead!'
At last the official site has caught up with the rest of the country and confirmed that Bolton Wanderers forward Jack Sampson will be a Shrimper for at least the next month and goes straight into the squad to face Northampton Town in League Two on Saturday afternoon.
In his first words to the media Jack told the Echo: 'I'm pleased to have joined southend. It's time for me to get first team games. I consider myself as a targetman.'
Local fansite www.burndenaces.co.uk wrote last night it was part of the condition of signing a new contract at the Reebok Stadium on Wednesday, keeping him with the Premiership club until the summer of 2013, (www.bwfc.co.uk), that he now link up with Southend for the initial spell that would officially end on a Friday night at Roots Hall against Rotherham United (February 10th).
However, if all parties were to agree, he could remain for the rest of the season!
Posting on @JackSampson14, he said: "Just arrived at #Southend to start my loan move. Looking forward to the next few weeks ahead!"
As we are, welcome to Roots Hall mate and good luck.
