Colchester midfielder Kem Izzet has signed a new deal with the League One promotion contenders. The 25-year-old has been a regular for the U's again this season, after missing nearly the whole of the previous campaign with injury.
Izzet, whose brother Muzzy plays for Birmingham, has made 191 league and cup appearances for Colchester since joining them from Charlton in 2001.
The Layer Road club have not yet revealed the length of the new deal.
