Leyton Orient manager Martin Ling has made former Everton goalkeeper Jamie Jones his third signing of the summer.The 19-year-old was released by the Toffees in May after failing to make a single appearance for the Premier League outfit, and Ling was delighted to bring him to Brisbane Road on a two-year contract.
He told the club's official website: "I'm very pleased to have signed Jamie. He has been with Everton since the age of seven and has an excellent pedigree.
"Jamie is a good size and will provide excellent competition for Glenn Morris. He will be able to learn from being around a first-team set-up and it's pleasing to complete another piece of the jigsaw.
"He first came on to our radar from our northern scout watching him for Everton's reserves on a couple of occasions last year and the reports we had were positive.
"He also spent time on trial at Yeovil last season and they were keen to sign him - and the fact that another League One club were in for him shows that he is of good quality."
