Tom Smith has signed a new deal at Colchester

  • Published

Colchester have agreed a new deal to keep goalkeeper Tom Smith at the club.

Smith played just seven games for the League Two outfit last season before suffering a thigh injury in February and missing the remainder of the campaign.

The 24-year-old was out of contract this summer but had been expected back for pre-season training and negotiations on a new contract only to suffer a burst appendix which delayed the process for a few weeks.

Smith started his career with Arsenal and signed for Colchester in 2023. The club have not disclosed the length of the new deal.
