ORIENT have signed Jimmy Smith on a two year contract.
Boss Geraint Williams' fourth signing of the off-season was announced late this afternoon (Thursday).
The free transfer is a coup for Williams because Smith still had a year to go on his Chelsea deal.

He impressed during that spell and now is set to be a major part of Williams' team during the season ahead.
