Braintree sign former Arsenal youngster, and Cambridge defender

Braintree Town have signed former Arsenal defender Tom Dallison and Cambridge United striker Jordan Chiedozie on loan.

Dallison spent part of last season on loan at Dartford FC, from Brighton & Hove Albion, gaining Conference experience with the Darts.

However, the 19-year-old has yet to appear for Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion, who he joins from.

The Dagenham-born defender played for Arsenal's Under 18's, before he signed for the Seagulls.

Dallison joins the Iron alongside 21-year-old Jordan Cheidozie from Cambridge, who also spent time on loan at Dartford last season.

The striker, who started his career at Bournemouth, played on loan at Dorchester Town, AFC Totton and Poole Town, before signing a permanent contract at Poole.

The Nigerian-English player, who is the son of former Tottenham Hotspur winger John, joined Concord Rangers a year later, before moving to Cambridge.
