Bryan handed trial with O's

Leyton Orient have handed a trial to Watford's Michael Bryan, who has found it difficult to earn a place in the Hornets' side.

The 21-year-old Northen Ireland international winger, who was recently on trial at Bournemouth, scored Orient's goal in their 4-1 reserve-team defeat by Ipswich on Tuesday afternoon. Bryan made nine appearances on loan at Bradford earlier this season. Meanwhile, Orient goalkeeper Jamie Jones continued his comeback from long-term injury against Ipswich. Jones has yet to figure for the first team this season after undergoing shoulder surgery in the summer.
