Colchester United have snapped up Leeds United midfielder David Prutton on a short-term loan deal.

The former Nottingham Forest and Southampton man has found his first team opportunities at Elland Road limited so far this term.

Prutton is ineligible to feature for his new side at Leeds on Saturday as part of the deal.

Prutton, 28, has featured six times in the league and has made three cup appearances this season.

Colchester manager Aidy Boothroyd said: "I am pleased to be bringing in an experienced player who has been at a much higher level in his career.

"David will bolster our midfield area for the games to come."
