Colchester United have signed Ossama Ashley following his end-of-season release by West Ham United.
The 22-year-old winger, who had been on trial with the U's, has signed an initial one-year contract.
Ashley, has made two appearances for West Ham Under-21s, both against Colchester, but the second of them, in September 2021, did not turn out well.
Coming on as a half-time substitute, he lasted only nine minutes before suffering a serious ankle injury.
"I want to get as many games as possible and gain experience with the lads," he told the club website.
"I'm a physical player, I get around the pitch, I'm very hardworking and I leave everything out there."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
