There\u2019s been a couple of windows where we\u2019ve looked to take him on loan but it hasn\u2019t materialised. He\u2019s a player we have been aware of a very long time. I\u2019m over the moon to have secured someone of his quality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting Dan into the building gives him the opportunity to meet everyone and get used to what he does and where to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kemp himself added: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to be here. It is a great club. I can\u2019t wait to get going. The manager is a massive part of me joining. His philosophy is exciting and his reputation of developing young players is something that attracted me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love to get on the ball and makes things happen. I want to score goals and create chances but I\u2019m also an honest player that works hard for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Kemp&#8217;s Career<\/h3>\n<p>Kemp came through the youth academy at West Ham after spending a decade in the youth teams at Chelsea between 2005 and 2015.<\/p>\n<p>His first loan came in 2020 when he joined League Two strugglers Stevenage. Here, he scored his first career goal in a 2-1 defeat away at Exeter City.<\/p>\n<p>Kemp was a regular performer for Blackpool this season, making his competitive debut in a goalless draw against Barrow in the Papa John&#8217;s Trophy.<\/p>\n<p>He scored his first goal for the Tangerines in the same competition against Leeds United U21s and struck in the next game &#8211; a 4-0 win away at Harrogate in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n<p>In his last game for the club &#8211; the brilliant FA Cup win against Premier League side West Bromwich Albion &#8211; Kemp provided an assist, which helped the side through to penalties where they were victorious.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"g1_PstMsT4xFZVth1tsfuA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1230518914\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'g1_PstMsT4xFZVth1tsfuA',sig:'yXLbyamEPtJY6Aj_DG9rGXABpL1OUtxWWHWLCAvZuok=',w:'594px',h:'424px',items:'1230518914',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leyton Orient have completed the permanent signing of midfielder Dan Kemp from West Ham United.
