PELL GLEE AT JOINING THE U’S

HARRY Pell admits he is delighted to join a club like Colchester, whose ambitions match his own.

The 26-year-old midfielder joins from Cheltenham on a threeyear deal for an undisclosed fee.

“I met the gaffer (John McGreal) and (director of football) Tony Humes, and after I walked into the gaffer’s office, I knew that this is probably the right time for me to push on,” said Pell, who joined Cheltenham from Non-League Eastleigh back in 2015.

“Colchester meet the ambitions I have so I’m looking forward to coming in here and putting in some hard work.”
