SAINTS full-back Ryan Dickson has joined Leyton Orient on a 93-day emergency loan deal.

The defender was recalled from a temporary spell at Yeovil yesterday in order to allow him to move to Brisbane Road today.

Yeovil had been keen to retain him, but under the loan rules would only have been able to extend his stay by another 60 days.

The move to Orient will allow 25-year-old Dickson to be involved with a club right up until the end of the season.
