Ben Goodliffe joined Southend on loan from Colchester United in January 2025, making his debut against Dagenham & Redbridge. The committed centre-back had come through Tottenham's youth system before joining Wolves and developing into a senior regular at Sutton United, helping them win promotion to the Football League.

Goodliffe made an immediate impression at Roots Hall, won the National League's May 2025 Player of the Month award and scored a crucial goal against Forest Green Rovers in the play-off semi-final. His move was made permanent that July, and he remains central to the defence in 2026/27.

These career totals are being corrected. The older archive entry for Ben Goodliffe contains a known discrepancy and must not be used as a definitive figure. Its data is safely retained for reconciliation.

This is the archived career snapshot, not an automatically combined lifetime total. Some earlier seasons and cup records are incomplete; current-season matches are shown separately until each historical season has been reconciled. No unverified figures are presented as definitive club records.
