Striker Freddy Eastwood has returned to Southend on loan from Coventry City.



The 28-year-old Wales international's contract with the Sky Blues expires in the summer and he does not figure in their plans for the rest of the season.

"There is little point in Freddy sitting around here when he could be playing first-team football somewhere," chief executive Tim Fisher said.

Eastwood scored 49 goals in 111 games for Southend before joining Wolves in July 2007 for £1.5m.

He was on target for the Shrimpers in the 2-0 win over Lincoln in the 2005 League Two play-off final and the following season scored both goals in a 2-2 draw with Swansea which sealed a second successive promotion.
