Brisbane Road outfit have added a third new recruit to their squad ahead of the 2016/17 campaign
Leyton Orient have announced the signing of Colchester United winger Gavin Massey for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old’s contract with the recently relegated U’s ran until the end of the 2016/17 campaign, but he has made the transfer to Brisbane Road.
He’s signed a three-year contract with the east Londoners and boosts the options available to manager Andy Hessenthaler.
Massey started his career at Watford before joining Colchester permanently in August 2012 after a successful loan spell there in the 2011/12 League One campaign.

During his four seasons at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, the Watford-born attacker hit 20 goals in the league.
And he found the net against Orient twice - scoring during the 2012/13 campaign and again two years later – both in Colchester victories.
