Colchester United have signed former West Ham United attacker Dominic Vose.

The 19-year-old has joined the U's on a monthly contract, after impressing while training with the U's over recent weeks.

Vose started as a youngster at Fulham and then joined West Ham, before leaving the Hammers last December.

He has since played for the likes of Barnet and Tooting and Mitcham and also had a loan spell at Braintree Town, where he played five games during the 2011-12 season.

Vose has gone straight into the U's squad for their game at Rotherham United tomorrow.
