Before, during & after Southend
Young goalkeeper Josh Barrett is listed as part of Southend's senior goalkeeping group for 2026/27. Still at the beginning of his career, he offers an additional option behind Joe Duncan and Jack Sims as the squad develops through the season.
The available match records do not independently establish a competitive Southend debut, so the archive identifies him as a squad member without inventing an appearance or attributing another player of the same name's record to him.
