Three years later, he joined Billy Ayre's Blackpool on a free transfer.

After two years with Billericay Town, Leyton Orient offered Capleton a return to the professional game. After only a month with the Londoners, his first club, Southend, signed him for just one game in October 1998. He returned to the club on a permanent basis, however, in March the following year. Capleton went on to make 56 appearances for Southend in two years. His third season at Roots Hall was spent on loan to Grays Athletic. He made the move permanent in 2002.
