Packwood loaned to Colchester
Following the news on Monday that skipper Magnus Okuonghae is likely to miss the rest of the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon, U’s boss Tony Humes has moved quickly to boost his defensive options.
Packwood will remain at The Weston Homes Community Stadium until January 1 and is available for this Saturday’s trip to MK Dons.
To date, the American has made 21 first-team appearances for Blues since his debut in August 2012.
