French striker joins Swindon

Striker Jonathan Tehoue’s career at Orient seems to be over.

The French forward has joined Swindon Town on loan until the end of the season.

Tehoue is out of contract in the summer and with Russell Slade allowing him to go out on loan it seems apparent he does not feature in the club’s long-term plans.

Although he was one of the big wage earners, Tehoue has struggled to make the starting line-up during his two-and-a-half season stay.

He joined in January 2010 and has made just 18 league starts, but has made 44 appearances from the bench and netted 12 league goals.

But he will be best remembered for his late equaliser against Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup last year.

“Jonathan’s loan will enable us to bring one or two new faces in for the run in,” said Slade.
