TYREECE Simpson has thanked Colchester United and their supporters after his loan spell ended.
The 23-year-old striker made the final appearance of his loan spell at the U's from League One outfit Stevenage after coming on as a second-half substitute in their 0-0 draw with Barrow at the JobServe Community Stadium, on Saturday afternoon.
Simpson was desperately unlucky not to mark his farewell appearance for Colchester with a goal, with his acrobatic effort coming back off a post in the stalemate with the Bluebirds.
To the fans of @ColU_Official thank you for having me, I’ve loved every minute of it !
