Colchester United have extended the loan of Everton defender Luke Garbutt until January 4.
The 20-year-old initially joined the League One side on a short-term loan in September.
"Colchester are giving me every opportunity to do what I do best on the football pitch," Garbutt told BBC Sport.
"On a personal level, it's been very good. I've benefited from playing first-team football week in, week out. I've gained confidence from each game that I've played."
Garbutt has made 10 appearances for Colchester.
