Alzate, 18, who can play on either wing or upfront, joins the club on a three-year contract for undisclosed terms.

He played 12 times in League Two for Orient last season.

Albion under-23s coach Simon Rusk said: "We are delighted to welcome Steven into the squad.

“He is someone who did well to break into the Leyton Orient first team from their academy last season, and adds a new dimension to our attacking options.”
