Colchester United have snapped up Arsenal goalkeeper Tom Smith.

Smith moves to Colchester on a free transfer after coming off contract at the Gunners this summer.

The 21 year-old was on-loan with the U's last season where he kept three clean sheets in six appearances.

Smith has penned a two-year deal.

He joins Arsenal midfielder Mauro Bandeira at Colchester, who signed on-loan last week.
