Before, during & after Southend
Ollie Kensdale signed from Concord Rangers on 31 December 2021 and became a central figure in Kevin Maher's defence. A composed centre-back comfortable playing the ball forward, he established himself in the National League and scored twice in 130 competitive Southend appearances.
He left the club in September 2024 and later rebuilt his career with Eastbourne Borough before moving to Barnet and Boreham Wood.
