Old face Duguid just training
Former Colchester United skipper Karl Duguid is back at the Essex club, although at the moment only for pre-season training.
FORMER Colchester United skipper Karl Duguid is back at the Essex club, although at the moment only for pre-season training.
Duguid is a free agent, having been released by troubled Plymouth Argyle at the end of last season. The Pilgrims suffered a second successive relegation into League Two and are haunted by money problems. They remain in administration.
The versatile Duguid, now 33, made his debut for the U’s as a 17-year-old and went on to rattle up more than 400 senior appearances before moving onto Plymouth three years ago.
Duguid is on the look-out for a new club, and is currently sharpening up his fitness with the U’s.
