James Morton arrived at Roots Hall from Bristol City on 29 December 2023 as Kevin Maher's first signing after the club's transfer embargo was lifted. The composed central midfielder had spent much of his earlier career on loan in the West Country and brought welcome depth to the engine room.

He scored his first Southend goal against Boreham Wood in April 2024 and became a regular over the next two seasons.

Recorded career totals

These career totals are being corrected. The older archive entry for James Morton 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.
