Former Colchester United right-back Sean Clohessy has signed for League Two side Leyton Orient.

The defender has signed a two-year deal with the O's, after he left the Weston Homes Community Stadium last month.

Clohessy, who joined the U's from Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock, played 37 games for Colchester and skippered them for a number of games.

But he fell out of favour with boss Tony Humes at the end of February following his reaction to being substituted in their 2-0 defeat at Doncaster Rovers.

It proved to be Clohessy's final game for the U's and his contract was terminated last month, despite having a year remaining on the two-year deal he signed last summer.

Orient are preparing for life in the fourth tier, following their relegation from League Two last season.
