Former Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic midfielder joins League One outfit from Wigan Athletic
Clare made his senior breakthrough in South Yorkshire, having joined the Owls from the Nike Academy. He made five senior appearances for the club, scoring once, before leaving for Scottish side Hearts in 2018.
Oxford United brought the midfielder back to England two years later and he has since represented the U’s, Charlton Athletic and Wigan in the third tier. He will still be in the division next term, but in the colours of Orient.
He has been prised from Wigan for an undisclosed fee and put pen to paper on a three-year deal at the Gaughan Group Stadium.
Orient boss Richie Wellens said: “First and foremost, Sean is an experienced League One player, and he also has experience in the Championship and Scottish Premier League. He can cover several areas for us, has a lot of pace and athleticism, is a good size and a very good footballer. I think he is a really good signing for us.
“In that right-back area, he will give us a lot of options. He will provide competition for Tom James and also gives Jayden Sweeney competition, as TJ can play both sides.”
