Leyton Orient terminate Elliot Omozusi's contract

Omozusi played eight times in the Premier League for Fulham

Leyton Orient have terminated defender Elliot Omozusi's contract following his conviction last week.

The 22-year-old was jailed for two-and-a-half years on Friday for his part in trying to take revenge on a witness in a gang-related murder trial.

The ex-England Under-17 international and former Leyton Orient player of the year appeared 61 times for the O's.

He had previously played for Fulham before moving to Norwich and then Charlton on loan.

A statement on the club website said: "Following the recent conviction of Elliot Omozusi and subsequent prison sentence of 30 months, the club has reviewed its legal position and has terminated the contract of the defender."
