Before, during & after Southend
Midfielder Scott Donnelly joined Southend on loan from Aldershot Town in November 2012. An experienced lower-league player who had previously represented Wycombe Wanderers and Swansea City, he found opportunities limited during his short stay at Roots Hall.
Both of his Southend first-team outings were League Two substitute appearances, and he did not score. He returned to Aldershot in January 2013, later spending time on loan at Farnborough before joining Newport County.
