Gillespie excited for new season
The former Liverpool trainee signed from Cheltenham for £400,000 last July, but only made eight league starts, scoring four goals, for the U's last season.
Gillespie told the Colchester Gazette: "I'm feeling good. We've been given a hard programme during the summer, which I've been sticking to.
"It's more important for me than the other lads because of last season.
"I'm even more excited than I was this time last year, because I've worked hard to get my fitness at a level where I can sustain 40 games a season."
