New signing Steven Gillespie has revealed Colchester's ambition convinced him to join the League One side.The 24-year-old scored 16 goals for strugglers Cheltenham last season before becoming the U's record transfer for more than £400,000.
And now the striker has set his sight on leading Colchester back to the Championship after their relegation last year.
Gillespie told the East Anglian Times: "I always want to better myself, and every footballer will tell you that they want to play at the highest level possible. I believe I have that chance with Colchester.
"Colchester were in the Championship last season, and I believe that they can get back up there. That's a big reason for me signing. I had a good feeling when I spoke to the chairman, and of course I already knew all about the new ground.
"I have been impressed with Colchester's ambition and I want to start winning things."

Well i would like to comment that my club scunthorpe have been well beaten
again by a similar sized club.
even though we have had about 3 million in transfers over the last year or two
we have still no decent signing to show. I have to question adkins attracting powers
laws never had any problems.
