COLCHESTER United midfielder Kemi Izzet has signed a new contract with the club.

The 29-year-old has signed a new two-year deal which will take him through to the summer of 2012.

It means the U's longest serving player should now earn a testimonial with the Essex club.

The tenacious midfielder first signed for Colchester from Charlton back in 2001. He has since gone on to make over 350 appearances for the club and has been consistently selected by five different managers during that time.
