Southend United have signed former Tottenham defender Maxwell McKnight on a one-year contract, with the National League club having the option to extend the deal by a further 12 months.
The 22-year-old came through Spurs' academy but did not make a first-team appearance for the club, while last season he was with Brentford's B team.
McKnight has been named in Kieron Dyer's starting XI to face Aldershot on Saturday.
