ORIENT should certainly be resilient next season, with the arrival of yet another defender at Brisbane Road.

Elliot Omozusi was unveiled by the club today (Wednesday morning.)

Twenty one year-old Omozusi has been signed up boss Russell Slade for one year, with the option of another year in the contract.

Omozusi is a right-back who can also play in the centre.

Those are the spaces made vacant by the exit of Stephen Purches, and the looming departure of Tamika Mkandawire.

Omozusi arrives from Premier League Fulham, where he made eight appearances from 2006.

He spent spells on loan at Charlton Athletic and also Norwich City, making 21 appearances for the Carnaries and ten for the Addicks.

Now Omozusi will look forwards to pinning down a regular spot in Slade’s new-look side.
