Heath made five appearances for Colchester towards the end of the season after a temporary switch from Leeds and showed enough to persuade Williams to sign him on a permanent basis.

"I am delighted to welcome Matt back to the club," said Williams.

"He came down on loan and was unfortunate to pick up a few niggly injuries, so he didn't play as much as he would have liked.

"However, in the games he did play he showed some very good qualities that I feel will improve the team.

"Matt, Chris Coyne and Pat Baldwin will be in competition for two starting places and that is exactly what we need - competition and quality - so I am delighted to have him on board."
