Striker James Scowcroft has joined Leyton Orient after his release from Crystal Palace.

The 33-year-old, whose contract with the Eagles had expired in June, penned a one-year deal with the League One outfit.

He could not command a regular place in Neil Warnock's Palace line-up last season and made just 10 appearances.

O's manager Geraint Williams said: "We've been talking to James about a transfer here for a while and I'm really pleased to add him to our squad.

"He's a good player who scores goals and I feel he will have a big part to play for us this season."

Scowcroft scored 14 goals in 86 games since his transfer from Coventry City on free three years ago.
