Before, during & after Southend
Separate Southend spells
Striker Tom Hopper first joined Southend from Scunthorpe United in 2018 and made a flying start, scoring seven goals in fourteen games before a serious ACL injury ended his first season early. He added three more goals after recovering but left for Lincoln City in January 2020.
Following time with Lincoln and Colchester United, Hopper returned to Roots Hall in January 2025 and resumed scoring in the National League.
