ORIENT have hired a veteran midfielder on a one month loan deal.

Kristian O'Leary comes to Brisbane Road from Swansea City.

The 32 year-old has made more than 300 appearances for Swansea.

The move by Geraint Williams could fill a gap caused by Sean Thornton's absence with a knee injury.

O'Leary will get his first opportunity for action in Friday, when the O's travel to take on Southend Utd.
