Leyton Orient have signed Ollie O'Neill from Fulham for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old winger has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the League One club.
O'Neill played and scored for Fulham in their EFL Trophy group game against the O's at Brisbane Road in September.
"I'm really excited to be starting the next chapter at Leyton Orient, a club that feels like it has got real momentum behind it at the moment," O'Neill told the
Orient are ninth in League One but 11 points off the play-off places.
O'Neill, who was loaned to League of Ireland club Derry City last season, is the O's' second addition of the January transfer window, following the arrival of Brandon Cooper from Swansea last week.
"I know that this is the right time for me to leave the nest of academy football. I had a good taste of senior football last season and now I'm ready to challenge myself in League One," O'Neill added.
"I like to play wide, get on the ball, and create lots of chances for myself and my team-mates."
