Colchester United have signed defender David Agboola to join the U23s squad, after he impressed on trial during pre-season.
The 18-year-old former Dagenham & Redbridge academy graduate has signed a one year deal with the U's, and will join up with Kevin Horlock's squad for the 2018/19 campaign.
The U's U23s get their fixtures underway on Sunday when they travel to Hull City at the KCOM Stadium.
