Southend United have signed four players this week, signing two defenders and two strikers.
Defender Cian Bolger joins the club from Championship side Bolton Wanderers, on a two year deal at an undisclosed fee, and will be joined by Danish central defender Mads Ibenfeldt on a one-year deal, who joins as a free agent.
Bolger, who was at Roots Hall last season, has previously played for Leicester City, Bristol Rovers, Colchester United, and was a skipper in the Bolton Academy.
The Blues have also signed Ibenfeld, following 'a successful trial', which saw him play against Concord, Ipswich and QPR during pre-season. He has played for Danish sides Akademisk, Bronshoj, Siilkeborg and NFC.
United's new strikers are Isaac Layne, who joins from non-league side Billericay Town for an undisclosed fee on a one-year contract (option of further year), and Shaquile Coulthirst, who joins on a season-loan loan deal from Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur.
The former Billericay striker, Layne, spent time with Charlton Athletic during pre-season., while 19-year-old striker Coulthirst spent time at Leyton Orient and Torquay United during the latter half of last season, but made a Europa League apperance for Spurs.
