FORMER Colchester United loanee Aramide Oteh has signed for Braintree Town.

The 27-year-old striker, who made 13 league appearances for the U's during his loan spell in the 2020-21 season, made his Iron debut as a 77th-minute substitute for Calum Logan in their 1-0 home defeat to Essex rivals Southend United, on Boxing Day.

Oteh joined Colchester on loan from Rangers in January 2021, having previously been on loan at Stevenage earlier that season.

Oteh had started his career with Spurs prior to joining QPR, in the summer of 2017.

The forward made four league appearances for Rangers after making his debut for them in a Championship game at Millwall in December, 2017.

He scored his first professional goal for Rangers in their 3-1 win at Burton Albion, the following month.
