Southend United Welcomes Former Sutton Utd Goalkeeper Jack Sims

Return to the Shrimpers

Jack Sims, the 27-year-old goalkeeper who spent two seasons with Sutton United, has returned to his former club Southend United. The move comes as a free agent after Sims left Sutton United.

Sims began his journey in football as a schoolboy at Southend but made his professional debut with Blackpool when he was just 16 years old. His career continued with stints at Welling United and Braintree Town, where he played a crucial role in helping the team secure promotion through the National League South play-offs in 2024.

At Sutton United, Sims made significant contributions by playing 67 National League games over his two seasons there. His experience and skills will be valuable assets to the Shrimpers as they aim for continued success.

New Deal with Southend United

Sims has signed a one-year contract with Southend United, giving the club an option to extend his stay for another season if performance meets expectations. This move allows both parties to assess Sims' form and potential impact on the team in the upcoming season.
