Elliot Omozusi: Cambridge sign Leyton Orient defender

Elliot Omozusi began his career at Fulham before spending time on loan at Norwich and Charlton

Cambridge United have signed Leyton Orient defender Elliot Omozusi on a two-year deal.

The 26-year-old played 149 times for the O's over two spells at the club.

"We all hope for a strong season, but I'm sure, quietly, we will believe that there is a good chance to get promoted," he told the club website.

"One of the reasons I signed is all the community projects that go on behind the scenes at Cambridge - that's something I hold pretty dearly."

Omozusi was sacked and jailed in 2011 for intimidating a witness in another case and rejoined Orient upon his release, having served 16 months of his two-and-a-half year sentence, for a second chance with the club.
