West Ham United striker Andy Carroll continued his comeback from injury by turning out for 60 minutes of a friendly encounter against Southend United this afternoon.

The England international is yet to feature for the East Londoners this season, having undergone ankle surgery in the summer.

However, in front of manager Sam Allardyce, Carroll played for an hour today, before he was substituted.

Joey O'Brien, Matt Jarvis, Kevin Nolan and Ricardo Vaz Te also played some part in the encounter against the League Two club.
