Southwell came up through the Grimsby Town youth system and at 17 made his first senior appearance in the 2010–11 season. Southwell remained with the Mariners for three years, but despite regular substitute appearances, he was only given 10 starting appearances. During this period he also had a short loan in the Conference North at Harrogate Town, scoring 1 in 3 appearances.

Boston United

Southwell signed for nearby Conference North club Boston United in the summer of 2014, searching for regular football. In his first season, he started 39 league games and scored 28 goals. By the end of his first season with The Pilgrims he had scored 30 times from his 42 starts in all competitions.

His 2015–16 season started in a similar fashion and, by Christmas, Southwell had scored 15 goals in his first 23 games of the season. After an injury to his foot kept Southwell sidelined for ten weeks,[3] he returned on 24 February to score his 16th League goal of the season. By the end of the season Boston had reached the play-offs, with Southwell scoring 24 goals and receiving both the National League North Golden Boot and Boston's Player of the Season 2015–16.

Wycombe Wanderers

Southwell turned professional on 21 June 2016 signing a two-year contract with Wycombe Wanderers.[4] On his first Adams Park appearance for Chairboys, he scored the equalising goal against Brentford in a pre-season friendly which finished 1–1. On 3 February 2017, Southwell signed on loan with Lincoln City.[5] It was a one-month loan.

Non-League career

On 9 January 2018, Southwell signed for Guiseley.[6]

On 13 June 2018 Southwell signed a two-year deal with FC Halifax Town. Southwell then returned to National League North club Boston United on an initial 1-month loan on 5 December 2019.[7]

Southwell moved to King's Lynn Town F.C. in January 2020, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal.[8]
