| Position | Midfielder |
A classy midfielder who can also play as sweeper, Mark featured regularly in the Southend United squad at the beginning of 2000-01 before being sold to Third Division rivals Hartlepool United soon after David Webb became manager at Roots Hall.
He added some much needed bite to the Pool midfield, and shortly after his arrival the team started a 21-match unbeaten run in Third Division games.
Mark went on to become part of an outstanding trio in the centre of the park along with Tommy Miller and Paul Stephenson, although he accumulated a number of yellow cards and this is an area of his game where he needs to improve.
He is a player who always appears to have time on the ball, and can find a colleague with a pass regardless of the number of opponents in close proximity.
Mark's contract at Hartlepool United was extended in March 2003 up to June 2005.
