Colchester United have signed Norwich goalkeeper Jake Kean on an initial 28-day loan.
The club been in the market for a new goalkeeper following Jamie Jones‘ return to Preston last month.
Kean has been at Norwich since August 2015 after joining from Blackburn Rovers but if yet to make a first team appearance for the Premier League club.
The goalkeeper told reporters, “It was either come here and play some games or stay and play a couple of reserve-team games. Every player that works Monday to Friday wants to play.
“My time at Norwich so far has been absolutely brilliant, there’s a great bunch of lads and staff there. I’ve really enjoyed working with (goalkeeping coach) Dean Kiely and he’s been good enough to let me come here.”
Colchester are finding the going tough in League One this season and are currently sitting at the bottom of the table. They face Charlton in the FA Cup on Saturday.
