Alan Maybury has not featured for Colchester United's first team under manager Aidy Boothroyd.

He was a regular starter under former boss Paul Lambert last season, having signed on a free transfer.

However, Maybury has been out of the picture this season.

He has spoken to boss Boothroyd about his future but has not given up hope of forcing his way back into the team.

“The manager spoke to me and said he didn’t think I was going to play but things can change quickly in football,” said the former Leicester City player.
