Mitchell Springett is keeping his cards close to his chest concerning the identity of his new shotstopper.

The Harwich and Parkeston chief was forced to bring in a new face due to the five-week suspension of keeper Nathan Munson ahead of Monday's Tendring derby with Clacton Town.

The Shrimpers' number one picked up a red card in their 2-1 defeat at AFC Sudbury last month and will be kicking his heels on the sidelines when Harwich travel to the Rush Green Bowl for the premier division clash (11am kick-off).

However, Springett was quietly confident of filling Munson's shoes before the big showdown.

"The goalkeeper situation is still in the pipeline," Springett said. "But I'm confident that it will be sorted out later this week."
