Former Derby defender Cox joins Southend

Southend United have signed former Derby County defender Daniel Cox on a two-year contract with an option for an extra year.

The 20-year-old came through the Derby academy and captained their under-21 side before his release this summer without a senior appearance for the Rams.

Cox becomes the National League side's fourth signing of the summer since Kieron Dyer became head coach.
