Leyton Orient re-sign free agent forward Koroma

Josh Koroma scored 20 goals in 97 appearances in his first Leyton Orient spell between 2016 and 2019

Versatile forward Josh Koroma has rejoined Leyton Orient, six years after leaving the club for Huddersfield Town.

The 26 year-old returns to Orient on a free transfer, having been released by the Terriers this summer, and has signed a three-year deal.

Koroma, Orient's sixth summer signing, told the club's website: "This club has always been so special to me because it is where my journey in professional football started; it means a lot to be back.

"I'm hungry to put that Leyton Orient shirt back on and am even hungrier to succeed again here."

Koroma came through Orient's academy, made his first-team debut aged 17 and helped the east Londoners win the National League in 2019.

His displays that season, which included 11 goals in 39 league appearances, also earned him a move to then-Championship side Huddersfield.

Koroma scored 35 goals in 168 appearances for Huddersfield in a six-year stay, that also included loan spells at Rotherham United and Portsmouth.

Orient head coach Richie Wellens said: "I am so pleased to get someone of Josh's quality through the door.

"He needs no introduction to our fans and returns to us as a man and someone that now has great experience at this level and the level above.

"He should be coming into the prime years of his career and if we can get the best out of him then he can be a special player for us."
