Phil Ifil has admitted he is disappointed to have left Colchester United.

Ifil has left Colchester after two and a half years, after new boss John Ward decided against offering him a new deal.

His contract expired at the end of the season but it had looked as though the former Spurs player would stay at the U’s.
