The Red Devils striker played for Cockfosters, East Thurrock United, Hungerford Town, Hampton & Richmond Borough and Maidenhead United before getting his chance in the EFL with Harrogate Town.
However, a difficult season in North Yorkshire, which saw him loaned to Boreham Wood, and a disappointing spell with Grimsby Town, led him to Scott Lindsey’s team of misfits last summer for an undisclosed fee. Orsi never looked back.
From favourites to be relegated from League Two, Town eventually finished seventh and made the play-offs, where they beat Crewe 2-0 in last Sunday’s final at Wembley. Orsi admits it was only in the dressing-room that there was a belief they could go up.
“The club was signing nobodies I guess at the time but we knew what we could achieve,” said the 28-year-old, who scored 25 goals in 50 matches in his first season in West Sussex.
“I don’t blame people for doubting us after signing Non-League players, I understand where they are coming from to a degree, but we completed what we set out to do. I saw what people don’t see and we set a target of promotion in pre-season, when people thought we would be relegated.
