Matthew James "Matt" Hocking (born January 30, 1978 in Boston, England) is an English football defender who currently plays for Southport. Hocking joined Southport late in the January 2007 transfer window, from Blue Square South outfit Fisher. Southport fans didn't really know much about him until he played for them, but now he is a crucial part of the Southport team. Put in some great performances towards the end of 2006/2007, but sadly the club were relegated. It was a nice surprise when Hocking signed a new deal in pre-season, and pledged his future to the club. Has now made over 50 appearances for the club, he is known for his excellent reading of the game, and has formed a brilliant partnership with Kevin Lee. Known as "the Hock" he hopes to be part of a Southport side to be promoted to Blue Square Premier, as Southport currently sit just outside the play-offs in Blue Square North.
