Looks like a decent signing to be Fair, and looks like Leyton Orient offered a new contract to him at the death but decided to leave. Looks like they have missed out after signing him and sending him out on loan and building him up to the player is Today. 9 Goals in National south, and 3 Goals in the National league at 19 and 20 years old and then Gave him a chance and scored in the last few Years for Orient until a decent return of of 11 league Goals last year. The Beginning of his Career and attributes sounding like someone we have just released but didn't give the chance to get where he is now. I still think he will do well and who knows could turn out to be a Gem!

They probably knew he was off and offered a new contract so they would get a fee maybe? seen good and bad comments about him from LO fans, as you would expect with a lower league player

Just seen this Orient fans view on him;
"Fraud of a footballer. Instinctive finisher, reasonably quick and prepared to run a reasonable press. Absolutely brainless otherwise. Dribbles down blind alleys, can’t/won’t pass, unintelligent movement, terrible decision making if given any time to think, very little in the way of physicality and goes missing from games. Other than that he’s mint. Was never going to start for us this year so I can see why he’s moved on"
a slightly more favourable view from another;
"He is frustrating but has ability, capable of scoring some decent goals with good finishes, works hard, is quick and robust for someone of his size.
But he is inconsistent and frustrating, his decision making at times will drive you to madness - if he has too much time on his hands to think about things he usually picks the wrong choices and he can drift out of games sometimes.
Had his best season for us last season with 11 goals - he's not really a poacher, can play anywhere across the front line, but IMO he is best coming in from the left cutting onto his right foot. He also recently won his first Cyprus cap.
If he'd stayed I would've been happy enough, but a lot of fans get frustrated with him"

Not a natural no 9, but a versatile forward who can play all across the front line or just behind. Good age, decent potential and if we can improve him further and get a level of consistency, it will be a good signing. Good luck to him. ![](//storage.proboards.com/5848383/thumbnailer/Td0SfQzLBxSAw0LcVwjJ.png)

I'm a glass half full or half empty kind of guy tbh......but with these 6 signings in the past week I now buy into the plan. George Friend obviously knows the types of players we need, I'm also chuffed as a Badger that GF buys into Bristol Rovers....
Secondly' respect must surely be shown towards Matt Taylor also.....think about it?

Sounds like a young lad still learning the game. Plenty of potential, already keeping high standards (11 goals in first season league 1) what's not to say 15 goals next? Will only get better, best years ahead and all that, sensible signing. Looking forward to watching him.

Also fair play to the pizza shop guy for backing them in the transfer market, as it seems to be his vision that GF/MT are putting together this summer.
