Zavon Hines (born 27 December 1988) is a professional footballer who plays for Southend United. Hines was born in Jamaica but has represented England at under-21 level. He began his career with West Ham United as a product of their youth team and has also played for Burnley, Bradford City and on loan at Coventry City and Bournemouth.
Hines was born in Jamaica and grew up in the East End of London. He had been playing youth and regular reserve team football for West Ham United before being spotted by Coventry City manager Chris Coleman, playing in a game for the reserves.
Hines had been on trial with Bury before he signed on loan for Coventry City on 27 March 2008. He was given first-team squad number 9, and made his first appearance in the 3–1 home defeat of Plymouth Argyle on 29 March. He scored his first goal in his second game for Coventry City on 1 April in a 1–1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday.
Hines made his first team debut for West Ham United against Macclesfield Town in a League Cup second round match on 27 August, scoring a goal. Hines missed much of the 2008–09 season with a knee injury but signed a new contract in March 2009, keeping him at the club until summer 2010. After playing in pre-season for the 2009–10 season, Hines was in the matchday squad for several matches and had played against Liverpool in September. He scored his first league goal for West Ham when he scored a 93rd-minute winner in a 2–1 victory over Aston Villa on 4 November 2009. Hines' 2009–10 season came to an end in January 2010 following an injury to his knee which required surgery. He returned to first-team football, after nearly a year out, on 30 November in a 4–0 win in the League Cup against Manchester United, and went on to make 15 league and cup appearances in the 2010–11 season. In the summer of 2011, Hines turned down the offer of a new contract and left the club. He had made a total of 31 league and cup appearances for West Ham, scoring three goals.
