Defender extends loan at Colchester by further month with Town retaining a 24 hour recall clause

Town defender Elliott Hewitt has extended his loan at Colchester United for a further month.

The right-back will remain at the U’s until mid-March now, with a 24 hour recall in place for Town to exercise if needed.

The former Macclesfield man, who was signed by former Town boss Paul Jewell, has established himself as a regular at the Weston Homes Community Stadium and netted his first senior goal during the win over Peterborough.

Another Town loanee at Colchester is Jack Marriott, who has also netted one goal for the League One side since arriving along the A12.
