DAVID Fox believes fellow midfield general Alex Gilbey can become a top player for Colchester United.

The pair have formed a useful alliance in the middle of the park, along with George Moncur.

And Fox, who signed a three-month contract with the club early last month, believes his team-mate has all the tools to become a star player.

“I’ve been very impressed with Alex,” said the former Blackpool and Norwich City man.

“He’s still young and he’d say himself he’s still learning the game.

“But he’s got everything you need to be a midfield player.

“He’s got good energy, real quality and he gets about the pitch."
