A strange signing this. Jake Caprice has only played 14 league games in his life, 8 for Dag & Red and 6 for St Mirren. Since then, he has played five seasons in the NL. He was in the middle of a two-year contract, but suddenly fell out of favour last March. Here is an extract from his Wikipedia entry.
"Caprice was a regular in Orient's side, starting all thirty-five league games he appeared in. However, towards the conclusion of the season, Caprice fell out of favour under manager,
Justin Edinburgh and failed to feature again following their 1–1 draw with
Ebbsfleet United on 10 March 2018.
On 11 May 2018, Caprice was transfer listed by the club
[31] after failing to fit in with Justin Edinburgh's plans, with director of football,
Martin Ling stating "he is not what Justin requires from a full-back" in a interview with the East London Advertiser."
Not the greatest of references, but Micky has seen what he can do and rates him. With Alabi going the other way, whose fans will have the last laugh?
