Midfielder chats to Blues Player HD after completing his move to Roots Hall.

Southend United are pleased to announce that Jermaine McGlashan will become Blues’ second summer signing on July 1 after passing a medical on Monday 27 June.

The pacey winger joins the club on a two-year contract with the option of a third year following the end of his deal at Gillingham.

The 28-year old won't have to wait long to face his former employers as Southend United host Gills in their first league game of the season and then again a few days later in the EFL Cup.
