Welcome to Tyneside, Ash! 😄🏁 #WorClub ⚪️⚫️
We are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Finley Barbrook, who joins on loan from Ipswich Town until the end of the season. The highly regarded 21-year-old arrives with an impressive development pedigree. Fin captained Ipswich Town’s Under-21s side at just 18 years old and was named the club’s Academy Player of the Year at the end of the 2023/24 campaign. That same season also saw him enjoy a successful loan spell with Chelmsford City, a period that helped accelerate his progression and attract interest from clubs higher up the football pyramid. In 2024/25, Fin continued his development with a loan move to Sutton United, where he featured close to 40 times and earned multiple Player of the Year awards following a standout campaign in the National League. After impressing during Ipswich Town’s pre-season last summer and featuring in their Carabao Cup fixture, Fin joined Lincoln City on loan in League One. With Lincoln enjoying strong form, his opportunities were limited to the Vertu Trophy, leaving him eligible for another loan move. That move now brings Fin to the JobServe Community Stadium for the remainder of the season. Welcome to Colchester United, Finley. #ColU | #WeAreUnited
