OLAMIDE Shodipo has joined Colchester United on loan.

The 20 year-old winger will stay with the League Two side until the end of the season.

Shodipo returned to action for QPR’s Under-23s in October following a seven-month spell on the sidelines with an Achilles problem.

The U’s are currently four points outside the play-off places, and the QPR youth product would be eligible to participate should John McGreal’s men finish in the top seven.
