Matthew Harrold (born 25 July 1984 in Leyton) is an English footballer playing for the League One Southend United. Harrold has had numerous previous clubs including Grays Athletic, Harlow Town, Brentford, Yeovil Town, where he was a cult hero amongst the fans for his outstanding work-rate, as well as loan spells at Grimsby Town and Dagenham & Redbridge.

A former pupil of Trinity Catholic High School, Woodford Green, he was initially a product of Southend United's youth set-up, although he departed for non-league Harlow Town. He moved his way back to the Shrimpers via Brentford and Yeovil Town after a long-running summer transfer saga which ended with him being signed an hour before the transfer deadline on August 31 2006.

He is a tall, pacy target man who is adept at holding up the ball and scored his first goal for the Shrimpers against West Brom on 16 September 2006.

Off the field, Harrold is to feature in a television documentary because of his resemblance to Prince Harry. The programme is being made by ITN for the History Network.^[1]
