Defender joins Vincent as second new arrival

Colchester United have drafted in Preston North End defender Neal Trotman on a one-month loan deal. U's boss Paul Lambert has moved to bring in Trotman to help provide cover for the injured Paul Reid. The former Oldham centre-back has recently returned to fitness with a handful of reserve-team fixtures following a long injury lay-off. Trotman is expected to go straight into the squad for this weekend's clash with League One leaders Leicester City. The 22-year-old is Colchester's second loan of the day following the capture of Ashley Vincent from Cheltenham until the end of the season.
