Having already worked his way on to the first team bench at Southend, Franck Moussa is aiming for a big future at the Club.

Last season was a big success for the slightly built playmaker, who joined Southend in 2005 after he was released by West Ham, as he really came to the fore in the under-18 youth team.

17-year-old Moussa made his first team debut last season coming on as a late substitute at Colchester, but now he intends to make a lasting impression, which will only help him to further showcase his potential.

He has already been capped for the Belgium under-18s and continually being around the first team will only aid his progression and he now waits patiently for his chance to take the next step.

Moussa has signed a two-year professional contract with the Club and has already featured from the substitute's bench this season and plays regularly in the reserves.
