Before, during & after Southend
Former West Ham and Ipswich forward Frank Nouble arrived from Gillingham in January 2017, adding an experienced attacking option as Southend chased a League One play-off place. His opportunities were limited to five substitute appearances and he did not score during the second half of the season.
He left Roots Hall that summer and signed for Newport County, where he went on to enjoy a much more substantial spell in League Two.
