Colchester United have allowed striker Dan Holman to sign a loan deal with Dover Athletic.
Holman moved to Colchester during the summer after leaving Braintree Town, but the 24-year-old has been restricted to just four substitute appearances in League One.
The forward netted three times in 16 matches during a loan spell with Aldershot Town earlier this season, but after returning to his parent club, he has now been allowed to move to Dover.
The Whites currently sit in 12th place in the Conference table.
