BRAINTREE TOWN boss Hakan Hayrettin has made 30-year-old defender George Elokobi his second signing as Iron boss.
Hayrettrin replaced Jamie Day last week and has looked to freshen up his squad, bringing in Elokobi after the loan signing of Charlton’s Oliver Muldoon.
Experienced centre-half Elokobi has also joined on a temporary deal, arriving from League Two neighbours Colchester United on an initial month’s loan.
The powerful defender made his debut in the National League fixture against Boreham Wood on Tuesday night but couldn’t stop Braintree from going down 2-1.
The result means the Iron remain third from bottom with just two wins from their opening 14 league games after finishing third last season.
A native of Cameroon, Elokobi has plenty of experience in the Football League, making nearly 200 appearances with seven different clubs.
The ex-Wolves man has yet to feature for Colchester this season but played 19 times last term after arriving in the summer from Oldham Athletic.
