Shrimper Molesley

SOUTHEND have appointed former Weymouth boss Mark Molesley as their new manager, replacing Sol Campbell who left by mutual consent in June.

The ex-Bournemouth and Aldershot midfielder, 39, enjoyed great success at Weymouth and guided them into the National League on the back of successive promotions.

Molesley said: “It’s a really exciting time for me and my assistant manager coming in. We’ve got to open up the wounds and have a look. We really want to build some strong foundations to take the club onwards and upwards.”
