"I wouldn't mind staying with Southend for a bit longer," said Hunt, whose month-long deal from Derby County ends this Saturday.

"We're in talks at the moment and we'll just have to wait and see what happens."
The 21-year-old centre back, who worked his way up through the Pride Park youth system, has impressed at the heart of the Blues' back four and is beginning to relish his time at Roots Hall.
"I've really enjoyed playing down here," said the Birmingham-born battler.
"The results have been a bit erratic but fingers crossed things can start to pick up now.
"It was a good victory against Rochdale on Saturday, winning 4-0, and I thought we played well. We could have scored a few more goals and hopefully we can continue in that vein."
