Watford's Shaq Forde joins Leyton Orient on loan

"The club approached my agent a few weeks ago, and I knew I wanted to come here. The gaffer plays exciting football here, with a lot of pressing, and he sold the project that is going on here really well to me," he told the club's official website.

"I've had a couple of loan spells away from Watford already and they have been really good for my development. They've both been successful, and I'm hoping this loan can be too. I had a good spell at York last season, and I want to match, if not better what I did there.

"I can bring creativity, score goals, go forward well and help the team going forward, I'm really excited to get started. With the game tomorrow, I'll be getting straight into things, which I think is good for me. I can't wait."

Manager Richie Wellens added: "Shaq will bring us pace and power. He's a strong lad even though he's only 19. He had a great loan at York City last season, and Steve Foster speaks very highly of him as he has watched him on numerous occasions.

"He gives us a lot more attacking speed, and gives us more options. We're confident he can bring us goals, and he brings that exuberance to the squad, which I think we have been lacking recently."
