FORMER Coventry City striker Harrison Nee featured for Colchester United's under-21s in their friendly draw at Bishop's Stortford.
Nee, who was released by the Sky Blues at the end of last season, was involved as Matty Etherington's side played out a 0-0 draw at the RDA stadium.
The 20-year-old forward trained with Coventry's first team last season and was named amongst their substitutes in both the Championship and FA Cup.
Nee, who spent time on loan at Southern League side Barwell last season, was at Coventry for ten years before his release, earlier this summer.
After 10 years @Coventry_City my time here has come to an end. I would like to thank everyone who has helped me on my journey, It has been a pleasure representing this amazing club. SBA💙 #PUSB pic.twitter.com/PyUcfNtAl5

Colchester went close against Stortford when some neat football set up the chance for striker Jake Hutchinson but his effort was saved by Jack Giddens.
Ryan Charles then won the ball off a Colchester player high up the pitch and found Ben Marlow who set up the trialist but his shot was saved and pushed around the post by keeper Ted Collins.
On 12 minutes there was a great block of Oscar Thorn's shot by Ryan Henshaw who then closed down Nee, whose his shot was saved.
A flick into the path of the trialist saw a U's defender across to block the shot away for a corner.
From a right wing corner by Jack Morrell, the back-post header by Henshaw was saved.
Just past the half hour mark, a right wing cross found U’s winger Thorn but his effort was curled wide.
Early in the second half, Giddens was down well to save from Kaan Bennett who had dribbled into box.
And at the other end, a defensive error was seized upon by Peters whose shot was saved at full stretch by Collins.
With four minutes left, Ola Ogunwamide crossed from the right but with the ball nearly falling to Foxley who had made a late run, a U’s defender shephered the ball out of play.
With a minute to go, a U’s substitute shot wide from ten yards out, from a left-wing cutback, as the spoils were shared.
Colchester United: Ted Collins, Joe Oliver, Jet Dyer, Frankie Terry, Harry Beadle, Gene Kennedy, Kennedy Mupomba, Kaan Bennett, Jake Hutchinson, Harrison Nee, Oscar Thorn.
