Striker Nile Ranger came to Southend in August 2016 and scored ten goals during his first spell in League One. He played 49 competitive games before leaving the club in January 2018. More than three years later he returned to Roots Hall on a short contract in February 2021.
His comeback lasted just eleven minutes on the pitch, after which he made no further first-team appearances before leaving again. Together the two spells account for fifty Southend appearances and ten goals.
