Sammie Szmodics has joined Braintree Town on a month's loan.
The 20-year-old has had limited first team football this season, making just six appearances, four from the bench, and hasn't featured in the league since the U's 2-2 draw with Scunthorpe United at the end of August.
He's likely to make his debut tomorrow, when the Iron take on Macclesfield Town at Cressing Road.
