Louis Dennis has joined League Two side Leyton Orient for an undisclosed fee.


The 26-year-old forward made eight appearances for Pompey after signing from Bromley last summer.

Most of his appearances came in the EFL Trophy, with his only Blues goal arriving in a last 16 tie at Southend.

Dennis’ impressive performance in that game saw him collect the competition’s Player of the Round award.

He also featured in a league loss at Oxford and both of the FA Cup ties against Queens Park Rangers.

Leyton Orient secured the National League title last season to return to the EFL following a two-year absence.

Everyone at Pompey would like to thank Louis for his contribution to the club and we wish him well for the future.

Pompey have signed striker John Marquis from Doncaster for an undisclosed fee.


The 27-year-old – who had a short loan spell at Fratton Park in 2013 – has penned a three-year deal, with a club option for a further 12 months.

Twenty-six of those goals arrived last term, as Doncaster suffered a penalty shoot-out defeat to Charlton in the League One play-offs.

Loan : Rangers – Portsmouth


Pompey have signed Ross McCrorie on a season-long loan deal from Rangers.


The 21-year-old midfielder is a graduate of the Scottish side’s academy and the switch is subject to international clearance.

McCrorie had loan spells with Ayr and Dumbarton before making his senior Rangers debut in a 3-1 League Cup victory at Partick in September 2017.

The Scotland youth international has made a total of 54 appearances for the Glasgow giants and appeared in several Europa League matches last term.

McCrorie’s twin brother Robby is a Rangers goalkeeper, but it was Ross who went between the sticks against Hibs at Ibrox back in May.

The hosts saw regular stopper Allan McGregor sent off in the closing stages after all substitutions had been made, but Pompey’s latest signing helped secure a clean sheet.

Ryan Williams has returned to Fratton Park on a two-year deal.


The 25-year-old Australia international winger will officially join Pompey on July 1 when his Rotherham contract expires.

He previously made six senior appearances for the Blues as a teenager after progressing through the youth system.

Williams joined Pompey as a scholar in 2010 and made his debut as a substitute in a Championship draw at Middlesbrough on the opening day of the 2011/12 campaign.

He featured five more times that season, including in an FA Cup defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Williams moved to Fulham during the January transfer window and then switched to Barnsley – following a loan spell – in the summer of 2015.

Rotherham signed him two years later and he helped them secure play-off promotion to the Championship in 2017/18, making a total of 88 appearances.

Williams – whose older brother Rhys currently plays in Saudi Arabia – won his first senior cap for the Australia national team against South Korea earlier this month.

Viv Solomon-Otabor

Loan : Birmingham City – Portsmouth


Viv Solomon-Otabor


Pompey have signed winger Viv Solomon-Otabor on loan from Birmingham for the remainder of the season.

The 23-year-old becomes the sixth addition to the Blues squad during the January transfer window following the arrivals of Andy Cannon, Bryn Morris, Omar Bogle, Lloyd Isgrove and James Vaughan.

Blues boss Kenny Jackett said: “He’s an exciting young player who can be used on either side and impressed at this level with Blackpool last season.

“But he’s been a bit frustrated at Birmingham and that’s because of the standard of wingers they have at the club.

“We’re delighted to add a talented and pacy player to our group and he’ll be determined to prove that he can be part of Pompey’s future.”

Solomon-Otabor turned professional with Birmingham in the summer of 2014 and has had spells on loan with Bolton and Blackpool.

He made 47 appearances for the latter last season, with one of his five goals coming in a 3-2 home defeat to Pompey.
