Braintree boss Angelo Harrop said: "We have had tremendous help from the Cowleys at Colchester United allowing us to bring in Frankie Terry at the 11th hour on loan.

"He has an outstanding debut in my view."

Terry, who made his senior debut for the U's in October 2023, has linked up with several ex-Colchester United players, at Braintree.

John Akinde, Ryan Clampin, Chay Cooper and Marley Marshall Miranda are all currently plying their trade, at the Iron.
