Terry, who signed a new two-year contract with Colchester in the summer with the option for a further year, has now returned to the club ahead of their clash with Salford City this weekend.
The U’s have brought him back as they are short of central defensive options, with skipper Tom Flanagan and Jack Baldwin both still sidelined.
In a statement, Colchester United said: ‘We can confirm that Frankie Terry has been recalled from his loan spell with Braintree Town in the National League.
‘Frankie impressed throughout his time with the Iron, making 26 appearances and scoring twice.
‘He now links back up with the U’s as we head into a busy run of fixtures.’
Terry has been at Colchester since the age of 15 and made his league debut for the club in January 2025, against Accrington Stanley.
The young defender has also had loan spells at the likes of Braintree Town, Chelmsford City and Aveley, during his time at the U’s.
Terry, who made his professional debut for Colchester in October 2023, is making his own strides in the professional game, having grown up in a family steeped in football talent.
