Colchester United are closing in on a loan move for Ipswich Town youngster Jack Marriott.

The 20-year-old has scored five goals in 20 appearances for Vanarama Premier outfit Woking this season, having enjoyed a prolific spell with the Cards last season.

Marriott, who has yet to score for Town, is out of contract in the summer and has also had spells at Carlisle and Gillingham.
