The winger, who spent time with Chesterfield on loan from the Blades last season, is said to be in talks with the Shrimpers over a move to Roots Hall.

Campbell-Ryce said he was open to talks with Chesterfield over a permanent move but nothing has materialised.

Danny Wilson said last season that the veteran brought balance to his Spireites side.

The 33-year-old made nine appearances, scoring twice – one of those on his debut.

That was his second loan stint with Chesterfield, having made 16 appearances for the club in 2004.
