"I'm really excited to be starting the next chapter of my career at Leyton Orient, a club that feels like it has got real momentum behind it at the moment," he told the club website.

"I know that this is the right time for me to leave the nest of academy football. I had a good taste of senior football last season and now I'm ready to challenge myself in League One. I like to play wide, get on the ball, and create lots of chances for myself and my teammates."

Manager Richie Wellens added: "Ollie is an exciting young player and we are really pleased to get him on board. He is someone that we have been aware of for a while and we were really impressed with him in our EFL Trophy game against Fulham earlier this season.

"In the last few weeks, Ollie has trained with us, which I'm really grateful to Fulham and Lingy [Martin Ling] for organising that, so we already know a bit about him.

"He is someone who likes to get on the ball and make things happen. He can play right across the midfielder areas and I believe he can really grow and develop with us in the coming years."
