Ex-Fulham defender Elliot Omozusi hopes for fresh Leyton Orient chance

Former Fulham prospect Elliot Omozusi is determined to rebuild his life at Leyton Orient.

Omozusi yesterday signed for the League One side until the end of the season and - 14 months after going to jail.

Orient terminated the former Fulham defender's contract in November 2011 when he was given a two-and-a-half year prison sentence for intimidating a witness in a murder trial.

The 24-year-old has been training with Orient since his release in the autumn and the club have now given him a chance to revive his football career.

Manager Russell Slade said: "He has paid his dues now and is more determined than ever to get his career back on track."
