Leyton Orient have completed the signing of former Millwall defender Alan Dunne on a two-year contract.

The 32-year-old was released by the Lions at the end of last season after making 390 appearances for the club having joined them at the age of eight.

The Dublin-born defender was heartbroken to end his Millwall career this summer but will remain in London after agreeing to sign for the O's.

Head coach Ian Hendon has strengthened the defence by signing Dunne, Frazer Shaw and Connor Essam ahead of the start of the new season.

"Alan has been a signing that has been ongoing and has had a lot of interest from other clubs, but he brings a wealth of experience," Hendon told the club website.

"He can play pretty much anywhere across the back four and can also go into midfield if he is needed to. Having spoken to him he is here to play every week and is prepared to battle for his place. 

"What has gone on previously with the team and stuff we have done the lads may feel a bit comfortable in how things have gone, but he is definitely here to give competition. He is not ready to sit on the sidelines, he wants to be involved and play every week and that's the type of player I want at this football club." 

Orient are still waiting to hear whether Shane Lowry is leaving the club after spending time on trial at Birmingham City following the activation of his relegation release clause.
