Having joined the Shrimpers on a permanent deal from Colchester United following a loan spell during the 2024/25 season, Ben Goodliffe has already racked up more than 275 senior appearances during his career.

The former Tottenham Hotspur trainee was snapped up by Wolverhampton Wanderers at 18 years old, having made four senior appearances for Boreham Wood.

He made 12 appearances for the Under-21s in the Premier League 2, before returning to the Vanarama National League to join Dagenham & Redbridge on loan for the 2018/19 season.

After impressing during his stint in Greater London, Goodliffe was snapped up by Sutton United following the expiration of the defender's contract at Molyneux, where he would go on to make 182 appearances in five seasons, earning promotion to the EFL League Two in 2020/21.

Following Sutton's relegation to the National League, Goodliffe stayed in the fourth tier as he moved to Colchester, where he made 14 appearances in the first half of the 2024/25 season.

He then joined the Shrimpers in January 2025, helping the team reach the National League Play-Offs Promotion Final by scoring in the semi-finals against Forest Green Rovers.
