Leyton Orient have signed versatile forward Jamie Donley on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

Donley made his Premier League debut for Spurs last December against Manchester City, one of four appearances he's made so far.

The 19-year-old has been part of the club's academy since 2013 and has also made seven appearances for England's under-19 side, scoring five goals.

Donley said he wanted to "get first-team football under my belt" by joining Orient.

"I'm a team player. I like to score, assist and defend. I'll do whatever I can to help the team win, and will do what the staff ask of me.

"I played left-back for Tottenham in pre-season, I can play in midfield and anywhere across the front three," he said.

He becomes the O's seventh signing this summer, ahead of their League One game away to Charlton on Saturday.
