    Southend United have signed goalkeeper Owen Mason on a three-month loan deal from League One side Mansfield Town.

    Mason, 21, made the bench for the Shrimpers' 4-1 win over Eastleigh on Tuesday night, but could make his debut for the club at Boston United on Saturday.

    The goalkeeper has featured five times for the Stags following a debut in April 2025 and has had loan spells at Guiseley, Farsley Celtic, Wexford and Gateshead.

    This season, Mason has played for Mansfield in three EFL Vertu Trophy games and in the FA Cup second round win against Accrington Stanley in early December, making three saves in a penalty shootout.
