He made his debut for the club on 10 August 2013, in a 2–2 draw against Accrington Stanley. Since then, East played at left-back, right-back and in the centre of midfield.[18] However, during a match against Wycombe Wanderers, which resulted a 2–2 draw, East was substituted and carried off with a stretcher after he "falling awkwardly as he went up for a header." Following this, East was taken to hospital.[19] On 26 December 2013, East made his return from injury, in a 1–0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge.[20] But in the next match, against Northampton Town on 29 December 2013, he received man of the match but sustained ankle injury that left him out for three months, he also was in League 2 team of the week.[21][22] After three months out, East returned to training following his recovery on his ankle.[23] He scored his first goal on his return from injury where he "struck after minutes, volleying over keeper Matt Duke from 10 yards", as Portsmouth beat Northampton Town 1–0 on 21 April 2014.[24]

East joined non-league Aldershot Town on a one-month loan deal on 13 January 2015.[25] He returned to Portsmouth shortly after, and was released when his contract expired at the end of the season.[26]
