Elliott Hewitt is rejoining Colchester on loan for a second month. 

The Town defender returned to Portman Road at the start of November after spending a month and making six appearances with the League One club. 

Blues’ boss Mick McCarthy is happy to let Elliott link up again with the U’s following Jonny Parr’s return to fitness after a groin injury. 

The Wales U21 international looks set to be included in Colchester’s squad for their trip to Barnsley tomorrow.
