In July 2017, he signed a two-year contract with National League side Leyton Orient. He then went on a month's loan to Isthmian League Premier Division club Harlow Town, but was injured on his debut, the 2–0 win over Lowestoft Town on 26 August.[11] He subsequently returned to Orient for treatment.
