John Marquis: Leyton Orient sign Millwall striker on loan

John Marquis has loan spells at Cheltenham Town and Gillingham last season

League Two side Leyton Orient have signed Millwall striker John Marquis in a 93-day loan deal.

The 23-year-old netted eight goals in 21 outings during a stint at Gillingham last season and signed a new one-year contract with Millwall this summer.

Marquis has made six appearances for the Lions this season without scoring.

"It's no secret we have wanted to add a striker to the squad following the loss of Paul McCallum to injury," O's head coach Ian Hendon told the club website.

"He has played a number of games at this level and has worked with my assistant Andy Hessenthaler at Gillingham last season, so we know what he is capable of."

Millwall have a 28-day recall option as part of the deal taking Marquis to the Matchroom Stadium.
