Leyton Orient have completed the loan signing of striker John Marquis from Millwall on a three-month deal.

The 23-year-old has seen his chances in the Lions' line-up limited this season, starting just two games despite extending his contract for another year at the club over the summer.

He has joined his new team in time for Saturday's Sky Bet League 2 trip to Crawley.

"It's no secret that we have wanted to add a striker to the squad following the loss of Paul McCallum to injury and John fits the bill superbly," head coach Ian Hendon said on the O's official website.

Marquis will hope for as successful a spell as his last loan stay with Gillingham last season, where he scored eight goals in 13 appearances under Orient's assistant manager Andy Hessenthaler.
