Colchester United<\/a> have made their first January signing. The U\u2019s have signed defender Tafari Moore<\/a> on loan from Plymouth<\/a> for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

Colchester Sign Defender Tafari Moore on Loan From Plymouth<\/h2>\n

Colchester announced via their website<\/a> they had signed the centre back. Moore arrives from Colchester\u2019s promotion rivals Plymouth on loan for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

Moore is Colchester\u2019s first addition in the transfer window. The U\u2019s have been quiet in this window with Moore their only arrival as well as an extension on Theo Robinson<\/a>\u2019s loan.<\/p>\n

John McGreal<\/a> has been on the hunt for a centre back and Moore was available after struggling to impress Plymouth manager Ryan Lowe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moore exits Home Park looking for some much-needed game time after struggling to make an impact.<\/p>\n

At 22 years old, Moore brings plenty of experience. He was part of the Wycombe side which reached League One in 2018. He has also spent time abroad with Dutch side FC Utrecht.<\/p>\n

That experience could be vital for Colchester\u2019s vibrant, young time. McGreal has been chasing a centre back to add a much-needed option at the back.<\/p>\n

Moore went straight into the starting eleven after his move was confirmed. He played 64 minutes of Colchester\u2019s win against Macclesfield on Saturday. His match sharpness may not be at its best, but he could be a key player between now and the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Plymouth Confirm Moore\u2019s Departure<\/h3>\n

The Pilgrims also confirmed Moore\u2019s temporary move to Colchester via a statement<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n

Plymouth confirmed, \u201cTafari Moore is joining Colchester United on loan for the remainder of the 2019-20 season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe young defender moved to Home Park in the summer of 2018, having learned his trade in the Academy at Arsenal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been unable to make the breakthrough to Ryan Lowe\u2019s first-team plans for Argyle this season and had been told he was free to find another club for regular football.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us at Home Park wish Taf the best of luck in his new chapter at Colchester.\u201d<\/p>\n
