Following recent false reports in the Daily Mail and the Echo Newspaper regarding Jacob Mellis...
Southend United can now confirm that both media outlets have updated their articles to represent the correct information, stating that Jacob’s court case had been concluded in November 2020.
Jacob had been honest throughout his discussions with the club ahead of his January move and we look forward to him showcasing his abilities in a Southend United shirt.
Both the Daily Mail and the Echo have been asked to issue an apology to Jacob.
