Harrogate Town have signed Colchester United defender Tom Eastman on loan until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old has made 409 league appearances for the U's since joining from Ipswich in May 2011.

Eastman could make his Town debut against Sutton United on Saturday.

"He's a player we identified some time ago, he's very comfortable on the ball and for me is very underestimated as a footballer," boss Simon Weaver told the club website.
