Patrik joins a Southend side currently second-from-bottom in League One, 14 points from safety. Sol Campbell’s side have lost their last four league games and have 18-year-old Callum Taylor as their only fit keeper following the sale of Nathan Bishop to Manchester United and injuries to Harry Seaden and Mark Oxley.

Iceland international Patrik joined Brentford B in the summer of 2018, making 31 appearances for the B Team as they won the 2018-19 Middlesex Senior Cup. He also made his maiden Brentford appearance as a 75th-minute substitute during our 2-1 Sky Bet Championship victory over Middlesbrough last March. In June, Patrik signed a new four-year contract, with the option of a further year, before being officially promoted into the First Team squad in September.
