Skysports.com understands Colchester United defender Pat Baldwin is to join Bristol Rovers on loan until January.

Baldwin has made over 220 appearances for Colchester since joining from Chelsea in 2002, but he has not featured since early September.

The 27-year-old has struggled to make an impact under Aidy Boothroyd and has now been allowed to link up with League One rivals Rovers.

He will stay at the Memorial Stadium until 2nd January and he could make his debut for Rovers in Saturday's game against Gillingham.

It is also understood that Baldwin, who signed a three-year contract with Colchester in the summer, could join Paul Trollope's side permanently in the New Year.
