Merrick Anthony James-Lewis (born 21 May 1992) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Southend United.

Career

James-Lewis came through Southend United's youth system, signing a professional contract with the club in August 2010, having previously been with Fulham.[2][3] He joined Conference South club Braintree Town on loan in March 2011, for the remainder of the 2010–11 season.[4][5]

The following season, he went out on loan to Braintree Town again in August, having been promoted to the Conference National. He was recalled on 19 September, due to a lack of first-team opportunities, having made just four appearances.[6] James-Lewis made his professional début for Southend on 24 September 2011, coming on as a substitute for Ryan Leonard in the 79th minute in their 4–0 away win at Rotherham United.[7]
