Cole Kpekawa: Colchester United sign Barnsley defender

League Two side Colchester United have re-signed defender Cole Kpekawa for undisclosed terms from Barnsley.

The 21-year-old joined the Tykes last summer from QPR following the club's promotion to the Championship, but made just seven league appearances.

He had a brief loan spell at Colchester from QPR in the 2014-15 season, featuring six times for the Essex side.

The left-sided player signed a one-year contract, with a 12-month option, at John McGreal's team.
