The 20-year-old striker made his O's senior debut three years ago and his impressive performances have put a host of clubs on alert ever since.
The academy product also played a huge role in the club's promotion back to the Football League, scoring 11 goals in 44 games while also picking up seven assists. Koroma has made 105 appearances for the O's since breaking into the first-team and has found the net 20 times overall.
But he will now continue his development at Huddersfield instead of being with Orient on their journey back into League Two.
The Terriers, who were recently relegated from the Premier League, have beat off a number of clubs including Sunderland and Middlesbrough for the youngster's signature.
