Striker teams up with the U's for the rest of the season whilst Elliott Hewitt extends his loan there for a further month

Town striker Jack Marriott has joined Colchester United on loan until the end of the season, whilst Elliott Hewitt has extended his loan with the U’s for a further month.

Jack was recently recalled by the Blues from a similar spell at Conference side Woking and will now team up with Tony Humes’ side for the rest of the campaign.

Colchester are looking for reinforcements up front, following the departure of top scorer Freddie Sears to Town last week.

Elliott has impressed whilst with our Essex neighbours and recently netted his first senior goal, as Colchester defeated Peterborough.

Both loan spells include a 24 hour recall clause.
