Colchester Want to Extend Hewitt Loan
Tuesday, 21st Oct 2014 15:35

Colchester United boss Tony Humes says he’d like to extend Blues right-back Elliott Hewitt’s loan when his current spell is up on November 2nd.

Hewitt, 20, has made three starts since joining the League One side at the start of October and has impressed one-time Town defender Humes.

“We’ve known Elliott for two or three years through the academy system and we’ve always liked him as a player,” he told the Colchester Gazette.

“He fits how we try and play the game and it’s an opportunity for him to get some first-team football. It benefits Ipswich but it also benefits us.

“I think it’s something that we can take forward, depending on Ipswich and what decision they make.

“I’ll speak to Mick in the next couple of weeks, to see what the situation is with them. But if we can extend it, we’ll be looking into doing that.”

Colchester and Hewitt face Chesterfield at home this evening and then games at Swindon and against Port Vale at the Weston Homes Community Stadium before the end of the current loan.

The Wales U21 international started the season in the Town side, although in a less familiar right midfield role, but his only involvement since the Reading match on August 16th was as a sub in the 2-0 home victory over Rotherham at the end of last month.

I still think he has shown enough promise to have a future with us. His contract is up at the end of the season, so lets hope he has an really good loan spell and shows Mick enough to earn another contract with us. At his age there is plenty of improvement to come as he gains more experience.

I agree that a further loan period would be good as long as we had a 24 hour recall in case of injuries and/or suspensions for our current starters.Think Elliott could in time develop into a first choice right back for us and certainly hope and expect that he will offered a new contract.

Still think we need defensive cover as very lacking with Chambers out on Saturday.

For me we should get hewitt back because he is young and Ipswich need young players so than the team can become stronger and attack.

Staying there on loan with a recall clause would be 'win' for the player and both clubs
