The Chilean youth international signs a short-term deal, keeping him at the Essex club until November 9.

Reyes joined the club from American outfit Atlanta United this summer and has trained with David Wagner’s first-team this season, but has made multiple errors leading to goals for the club’s under-21s.

Reyes started his first game for the club in this afternoon’s FA Cup qualifying clash with Chesham United, keeping a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw.

He’s joined in the sixth tier by fellow City youngster Ben Watt, who moved to Braintree on loan this summer. The 20-year-old won man of the match in the draw, as he impressed in the Iron midfield.

Norfolk native Brad Hills also earned a clean sheet at the heart of the Accrington Stanley defence, playing the full 90 minutes in their 2-0 win over Grimsby Town.

Jon McCracken was in goal for the Lancashire side, having had his loan from the Canaries extended again this week.
