Colchester United have signed Nottingham Forest midfielder Jamie McDonnell on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old has made regular appearances for Forest's under-21 side but has not yet played for the first team.

He is the second player to join the U's from Premier League side Forest this season along with Aaron Donnelly.

Colchester have three points from their opening three League Two games of the season and visit Accrington on Saturday.
