Leyton Orient have signed Wigan Athletic right-back Sean Clare for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old was a regular for the Latics in League One last season and also has league experience with Sheffield Wednesday, Gillingham, Heart of Midlothian, Oxford United and Charlton Athletic as well as loan spells with Accrington Stanley and Burton Albion.

Clare still had two years to run on his Wigan contract after joining them last summer, and has signed a three-year deal at the Gaughan Group Stadium.

Head coach Richie Wellens “In that right-back area, he will give us a lot of options. He will provide competition for Tom James and also gives Jayden Sweeney competition, as TJ can play both sides.”

Clare is Orient's fifth signing of the summer transfer window following the arrivals of Sonny Perkins, Charlie Kelman, Diallang Jaiyesimi and Lewis Warrington.
