Gary Hooper will re-commence training with Southend this morning after his excellent loan spell with Hereford United.
"Gary has done superbly while with Hereford and I'm sure it's done him the world of good going there," said Steve Tilson, the Southend manager, speaking to the Southend Echo.
"His confidence will be sky high and it's going to be good having another striker in form with us.
"He will be back training today and it will be good to see him."
Hooper scored eleven goals for the Bulls in nineteen starts.
