Dutchman fails to earn Southend deal

Maceo Rigters has failed in his efforts to land a permanent deal at League One outfit Southend. The Dutch striker, who is currently on the books of Blackburn, recently joined the Shrimpers on a trial basis. He featured in two pre-season fixtures for the club and had hoped to have done enough to convince Steve Tilson to offer him full-time terms. However, the Southend boss has decided to look elsewhere for new recruits and has allowed Rigters to leave the club. The 25-year-old forward did not make a single appearance for Blackburn last season and was loaned out to Norwich and Barnsley.
