The 21-year-old made his breakthrough into the Shrimpers first team during the 2019/20 season, making his debut off the bench away to Burton Albion.

The hard-working flanker, who initially joined as a forward before moving out wide, joined the club in 2015 from Intersports ahead of his two-year scholarship with Blues.

He had impressed in a trial match by scoring a hat-trick against his future employers.

During 2018/19 he was sent on loan to Southern Premier Division Central side Royston Town, where he netted 4 times in 12 appearances.

In the curtailed 2019/20 season, he made 6 appearances for Blues before impressing in pre-season, scoring twice in behind-closed-doors games before the 2020/21 campaign.

He has now played 8 times for the Southend first team as well as being a regular in the club`s under-23 side.
