It's been an impressive season for Colchester United who sit in sixth place in the League Two table, with it still undecided as to how the campaign will be finished.

It is looking like the season will be curtailed but the play-offs played, thus allowing John McGreal's side a chance of securing promotion to League One.

Amid this current pause, McGreal and the board may have had one eye on potential additions for next season.

Here, we have identified nine soon-to-be free agents who Colchester could look to sign.....

Jon McLaughlin's contract at Sunderland is nearly up and the goalkeeper could be a handy player to look at for many sides.

Alex Gilbey is at MK Dons and is a talented player who could be available on a free.

Devante Cole is at Doncaster Rovers but his current contract is in the final months at the moment.

Joel Lynch is another Sunderland player whose deal is coming to an end in the near future.

Alim Ozturk is at Sunderland but for how much longer remains to be seen.

Joe Dodoo joined Bolton on a short-term deal as they scrabbled around for players. It ends at the end of this season.

Alan Sheehan joined Lincoln on a short-term deal earlier this year - that comes to an end soon.

Ollie Banks' Tranmere deal is coming to a close and which division they're in for next season could well have an impact on his future.

Cole Skuse has been at Ipswich a long time but his deal at the club expires in the summer and it remains to be seen what is going to happen with him.
