Before, during & after Southend
Left-sided wing-back Harry Boyes arrived from Sheffield United in July 2025, bringing his experience of National League football and his attacking play down the flank. Earlier on loan at Solihull Moors, he had made the league's 2022/23 Team of the Season while the Moors pushed towards the play-off final.
Boyes became a first-team fixture at Southend, opened his Shrimpers scoring account in the 5–1 home victory over Morecambe in February 2026 and supplied an assist for Gus Scott-Morriss. York City signed him in August 2026 for an undisclosed fee.
