Colchester United have decided not to offer West Bromwich Albion midfielder Rob Davies a contract after his trial at Layer Road.
The 20-year-old Wales Under-21 international featured in two reserve team games for the U's, but Colchester number two Mick Harford feels that Davies is still short of the required standard.
He told the club's official website: "He did well in a couple of games and he wants to be a footballer and is really positive, so that's a good thing.
"He's a good lad and was good around the club, but it's probably a bit early for him at the moment.
"When we bring players in we have to get players who will be pushing to get into the first team and we feel Rob isn't quite ready for that yet."
