Luke Chambers pens Ipswich Town message after Colchester United victory

Colchester United sealed a superb win in the Carabao Cup last night against Ipswich Town and after the fixture, Luke Chambers posted a message to his former team via his Instagram account.

He spent a total of nine seasons with the Tractor Boys over the course of his career and appeared in 376 league games for the club. However, in the 2021/22 season, he decided to make the transfer move to Colchester in order to get more game time.

He was a first-team regular for the side in the fourth tier in the last campaign, appearing in 43 games and being one of the mainstays in the team.

Having already played in their two League Two fixtures so far this season, it looks like he could be a regular again – and last night, his new team had to face off against his former side Ipswich in a Carabao Cup game.

It was Colchester who came away with the win and a spot in the next round too, sealing a 1-0 win over the Tractor Boys thanks to a Luke Hannant goal in the first half. The club managed to keep a clean sheet and sealed the victory and now, with the game done, defender Luke Chambers has taken to Instagram to post a message to his old club.
