Tottenham striker Simon Dawkins has joined Leyton Orient on a six-month loan deal.
The 20-year-old was a regular in Spurs' reserves side last term and was also called in to the first-team squad for the UEFA Cup encounter against Anorthosis Famagusta.
O's boss Martin Ling said of his latest acquisition: "Simon comes in on a window-to-window loan and I'm delighted to have him here.
"He's a young player that I've seen a lot of for Tottenham's reserves and the ongoing relationship with have with them has allowed us to take Simon on loan.
"Simon is held in high esteem at Tottenham and he will prove to be a good replacement for Efe Echanomi.
"This signing takes us up to 21 players and the jigsaw is almost complete - all we're left with now is the wide left player."
