Exiting Blues skipper Luke Chambers is close to completing a switch to Colchester United.

The 35-year-old has been tipped for a move to the League Two side for a number of weeks with his close friend Cole Skuse having already joined the North Essex club on a two-year deal.

Now, the Colchester Gazette reports that the U’s are hopeful of completing the capture of the centre-half this week, also on what’s believed to be a two-year contract.

Chambers’s Town departure was confirmed at the end of the season after nine years at the club, most of those as the Blues’ captain.

League One Gillingham were also keen on the former Northampton Town and Nottingham Forest man.
