Before, during & after Southend
Centre-back Shaun Hobson arrived from Bournemouth in September 2020 and became one of Southend's regulars through the final Football League season and the early National League years. His commitment and willingness to defend made him a steady presence during an unsettled period.
He played 129 league matches and scored six league goals, with another ten competitive cup appearances taking his overall Southend record to 139 appearances. He left at the end of his contract in June 2023 to join Oldham Athletic.
