Colchester United have been linked with a move for Matt Lockwood.

The U's are reported to have bid £100,000 for the Nottingham Forest defender.

Lockwood, 31, has spent much of his career at Leyton Orient.

The Rochford-born player spent more than a decade at the east London club, clocking up nearly 400 appearances.

Lockwood only joined Forest last summer but has played only 11 league games for the Reds, in their Coca-Cola League One promotion-winning season.
