He has energy and can work box-to-box, and is starting to learn the defensive side of the game too. Orient has a history of producing good young players, it’s almost like a tradition, so long may it continue. We all play our part in players like Zech, so speaking for everyone in the academy, it’s a proud moment.” he added. 🎯 Just a little reminder of what Zech Obiero can do…🔐 An O until summer of 2024!#LOFC #OnlyOneOrientpic.twitter.com/aXPqCL4W8B— Leyton Orient (@leytonorientfc) February 4, 2022 His brother, Micah Obiero, is in the books of Huddersfield Town Academy. 85’ GOAL! #htafc B 7-1 Salford@micahobiero bags his brace!#YoungTerriers pic.twitter.com/pQaWTXgJZh— HTAFC Academy (@htafcacademy) January 19, 2022
