Colchester United’s young forward Samson Tovide has penned a new deal that keeps him at the club until the summer of 2026.
The combative forward made his mark on the side last season with his first professional goal, a memorable strike against Doncaster Rovers here in North Essex before adding to his tally with an unforgettable performance against Crewe in April.
After putting pen-to-paper on the two year deal, (with an additional year option), Tovide said: “I'm absolutley delighted, it's been a long time coming and I've worked hard for it myself and I just can't wait to kick on really.”
"I feel like I've had a good pre season, four goals in four games, hopefully now I can carry on, kick on and hopefully start on Saturday."
Samson has taken the number nine shirt for this season - the rest of the squad numbers will be released in due course.
