Blackpool have signed Leyton Orient midfielder Jordan Brown for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old has agreed a four-year contract at Bloomfield Road with an option for a further 12 months.

Brown made 154 appearances for Orient, the final one in last season's League One play-off final at Wembley when they lost 1-0 to Charlton Athletic.

"Jordan has played an important role at Leyton Orient over recent years," said Seasiders boss Steve Bruce. "He possesses real ability in the middle of the pitch and we're looking forward to seeing him in action in tangerine this season and beyond."

Blackpool, who start the new season with a home game against Stevenage on 2 August, have now made six summer signings.

Brown's arrival follows Franco Ravizzoli, George Honeyman, Niall Ennis, Fraser Horsfall and Michael Ihiekwe.

"The club speaks for itself in where it has been over the years and I want to be a part of that," he said.

"To work under the gaffer is also something I'm looking forward to. He's achieved so much in the game and it's clear he wants to get this club promoted and back to where it should be."
