The 21-year-old striker’s previous club was SkyBet League Two side Colchester United.

During his time with the U’s, Jones spent the entirety of his time playing for Colchester’s academy sides.

One of the forward’s major highlights during his time with United was an impressive scoring run in the 2017/18 FA Youth Cup.

The Colchester academy outfit reached the sixth round of the competition, where they were knocked out by Arsenal.

Manager Robbie Simpson told https://www.chelmsfordcityfc.com: “We’re delighted to bring Callum to the Football Club.

“He’s a young striker who’s really, really talented. He’s got a bit of everything, he can run in behind, he can hold it up, he’s got a good size about him.

“Obviously, since he left Colchester, he’s had an injury and just been recovering from an ankle operation but he’s back to full fitness now.

“We know he had other National League South teams interested in him but being local helped and we’ve managed to get it over the line, so we’re delighted”.
