Colchester United Set to Sign Jack Payne
Colchester United are on the verge of signing Jack Payne, the attacking midfielder who recently left Charlton Athletic. Payne, 29, had an impactful season on loan at MK Dons, scoring seven goals and helping them reach the play-offs. This acquisition is part of Colchester’s strategic efforts under manager Danny Cowley to enhance their squad following a tough season where they finished 22nd in League Two.
Payne’s career began at Southend United, and he has since played for various clubs, including Huddersfield Town, Blackburn Rovers, and Lincoln City. His experience and skills are expected to add significant value to Colchester’s midfield.
In recent developments, Colchester United played a 1-1 draw against Stevenage in a pre-season friendly, indicating positive momentum as they head into the new season. Additionally, the club has adjusted the kick-off times for their first two pre-season games to better accommodate their preparations.
With the new signing and strategic adjustments, Colchester United aims to build a more competitive team for the upcoming season.
