The O's new forward signed for the League One side to make his return to English football, after a spell in Thailand with Buriram United. The Arsenal academy prospect told the club's website his reasons for signing up at the Matchroom Stadium: "I'm very happy to be at Leyton Orient Football Club. It's very exciting times with the new takeover and the club are really trying to push on for promotion next season. "I want to play as much as I can, score as much as I can and make a big contribution in helping the club become successful.

It was my first taste of first-team football and I have fond memories of this division and I'll look forward to the challenge."
