Before, during & after Southend
Southend academy midfielder Mitch Pinnock made his senior debut as a late substitute in the 2–0 win away to Aldershot Town on 16 April 2013. He made one more League Two substitute appearance, bringing his first-team Southend total to two games without a goal.
While developing he spent time on loan at East Thurrock United, then moved to Bromley in 2014. Pinnock later built a substantial EFL career with AFC Wimbledon, Northampton Town and Bromley; those later appearances are separate from his short Roots Hall senior record.
