The Club can confirm that Stephen Humphrys has joined League One side Southend United on a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old joined the club from Bury, and has been a regular scorer at youth levels ever since. In 2014, he signed his first pro contract to keep him at the club until June 2017, before he signed a two-year extension.

He earned his first team debut in our 2-2 Championship draw with Derby County in 2016.

The striker marked his return from his recent loan spell at Scunthorpe, scoring in each of the Under-23s’ fixtures against Middlesbrough and Manchester United since the turn of the year.

We wish Stephen all the best in his career and thank him for his services.
