ORIENT have completed the signing of Romanian striker Adrian Patulea on a two-year contract.
The 24-year-old forward has rejected the offer of new terms at former club Lincoln City in favour of a move to Brisbane Road and he joins Scott McGleish and Ben Chorley in signing for the O's this summer.
Patulea arrived in English football with the Imps last year and after impressing in a pre-season trial, Sincil Bank chief Peter Jackson paid an undisclosed fee to take the striker from the Petrolul Ploiesti club in his homeland.
He scored 11 goals from 17 starts and 14 substitute appearances during his debut season in League 2 and he will now take the step up to the third tier.
Targoviste-born Patulea began his career with Rapid Bucharest before moving on to Astra Ploiesti.
His transfer to Petrolul Ploiesti followed, and he then opted to try his luck in English football in 2008.
He has put pen to paper on a two-year contract in E10 as manager Geraint Williams continues his summer rebuilding of the squad.
