Former City Loanee Joins Orient

Last updated : 02 January 2019 By Cns Sport

Former Coventry City loanee Jordan McGuire-Drew has signed for National League side Leyton Orient.

His loan from Brighton & Hove Albion last season to City was not as productive as it should have been after the midfielder developed stomach problems which required surgery.

This season, McGuire-Drew was on loan at Wrexham, then managed by fomer City defender Sam Ricketts before he left for Shrewsbury Town.

He returned to Brighton and has signed for Leyton Orient on a two and a half year deal.

Speaking to Leyton Orient's club website, McGuire-Drew said:  "I got a call from my agent saying Orient wanted to sign me and I said, 'get it done' straight away. It's a great Club to be at, it's a Club on the up and I want to be part of the success here

"I like to get supporters off their seats, I like trying to make things happen, score goals, create goals, get the team up the pitch as much as I can when I get the ball."
