Former Blues midfielder Teddy Bishop has joined League Two Colchester United on a two-year deal having left Lincoln City.
Playford Road academy product Bishop, 28, was released by Town in the summer of 2021 when he joined the Imps, but was unable to agree a new deal at Sincil Bank this summer.
"I would have liked to have been here and settled maybe a couple of weeks ago, but it’s been in the pipeline for a little while. It was just a big decision for me, but I think I’ve made the right decision,” Bishop told the U’s club site.
"I believe in the project, the managers had put together a really good presentation to me and I like where the club is going. Danny and Nicky [Cowley] have proven promotions from this league, so that was another factor for me.
"The players they’ve signed have all got experience in League One or higher, so I think we’re putting together a good squad.”
