Ormonde-Ottewill joined Arsenal’s academy at the age of eight and rose up through the youth ranks of the Gunners. He never made a senior appearance for the London club and was released in 2015.

He was subsequently snapped up by Swindon Town on a free transfer after impressing them on trial. He went on to play 56 games for the Robins over two seasons, chipping in with two goals from defence.

The ex-England youth international then left England for Holland and initially had a brief spell at Helmond Sport before linking up with FC Dordrecht in 2018.

Ormonde-Ottewill became a key player for the Eerste Divisie outfit and spent two seasons with them before switching to Excelsior.

A move back to the Football League could be on the cards for him this summer as Hull consider a swoop.

The Tigers had a break from the action last night and are back this weekend against Shrewsbury Town away as they look to extend their impressive run of form.
