If true about the link to us, I wouldn’t read too ouch into that Southend stint. He most probably went there to get some games at the back end of a season - he did drop to League Two from League One Gillingham. I believe he had a one year option to stay, but obviously not executed by one of the parties (perhaps he didn’t want to drop out of the football league?). As for being unsigned - lots of footballers were in his situation, with clubs opting to operate small squads due to the uncertainty of COVID/no fans/cancellations…. Which tbh was a big factor why we were able to recruit a good squad last season…. Lads that might’ve been kept on the books of clubs otherwise, were suddenly available for us to sign.
He’s spent a lot of time at Championship clubs, notably Barnsley and Blackpool - and had a spell in league One with Bury. Longest stint was at Mansfield Town, with whom he played against Morecambe 3 times scoring 1 in a 4-0 win at Field Mill.
Hello! Hello! We are the Morecambe boys!
