We love our former U's, well most of them anyway, so thought I'd start a thread where we can keep up with them.
Thought I'd kick things off with a happier moment for Matt Jay in Essex as he scored a long ranger against Chelmsford at the weekend. It wasn't a joyous return though as Torquay shipped two late goals to lose 3-2 after leading 2-0.

Jay also got the equaliser away at Weston-super-Mare last night. Hopefully he's starting to enjoy his football again. [Post edited 26 Feb 2025 13:55]

Tchamadeu, 22, joined Stoke from Colchester United in the summer of 2023 and, after an injury-hit 2025-26 campaign, he has agreed a new deal until June 2028.
The Cameroon full-back has made 87 appearances for the Potters in total but a knee injury in January limited him to only six games since the turn of the year.
"His campaign was affected by injury on international duty, and a brief setback prior to his return in the final two matches, so it's crucial we work closely with him to ensure he is available for a more sustained period next year," sporting director Jonathan Walters told the club website.
"We all want to see players with the attributes that Junior brings to the team. With his energy and pace, he has the potential to develop into one of the most dynamic attacking full backs in the Championship and beyond." | |

Aldershot Town have signed winger Hakeem Sandah from National League South side Farnborough. |
For those who are saying "who?!?" from Wikipedia:
Signing for Colchester United in January 2024, joining their under-21s side. After loan spells with Maldon & Tiptree during both the 2023–24 and 2024–25 campaigns, Sandah made his professional debut in November during an FA Cup away defeat to Swindon Town, coming on for Rob Hunt. After making two additional appearances for the club in the EFL Trophy, Sandah joined Walton & Hersham on a one-month loan in February 2025, where he played in five matches. Following the conclusion of the 2024–25 campaign, it was announced that Sandah would leave Colchester United at the end of his contract in June 2025. | |

Bit of a strange one this as Wycombe have just signed a keeper from Plymouth. I guess they'll both be battling for that number 1 shirt. | |
