Johnson swoops for striker
Date published: 09 October 2014
ATHLETIC boss Lee Johnson has signed Colchester United’s experienced striker Jabo Ibehre on a 93-day loan subject to Football League clearance.
The 31-year-old former MK Dons and Walsall hit-man has joined from the U’s until January 10 and goes straight into the squad - in a number 19 shirt - to face the Saddlers at SportsDirect.com Park on Saturday.
Ibehre was in Walsall’s 2008-09 side and scored 10 goals in 39 appearances. Last year he was named Colchester’s player of the year.
