League One club Leyton Orient have signed Watford forward Shaq Forde on a season-long loan deal.

He spent the second half of last season with National League club York City, scoring nine goals in 20 league outings for the Minstermen.

"Shaq gives us a lot more attacking speed, and gives us more options," boss Richie Wellens told the club website., external

"We're confident he can bring us goals and he brings that exuberance to the squad, which I think we have been lacking recently."
