Zech Obiero: Gillingham add last-gasp Deadline Day loan move for Leyton Orient midfielder

A product of the Tottenham Hotspur academy, Obiero joined Leyton Orient as a youth player and made his way through from Under-18 to senior level.

Loan spells with Cheshunt and Chelmsford helped him get more regular game time and last season, he made five league appearances for The O's, before a loan move to Tranmere Rovers saw him make 13 appearances in League Two, scoring twice. Coincidentally, his Rovers debut came at Priestfield, in a 2-1 defeat to the Gills back in February.

This season, Obiero has come off the bench twice for Orient – in their home defeats to Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley – and was an unused sub for the O's away wins at Wigan and, tonight, at Bromley.

Now the 21-year-old is set to make the short hop down the A2 to the Medway Towns, where he'll join up with Gareth Ainsworth's new-look Gills squad for the rest of the campaign.
