Leyton Orient midfielder Jordan Brown has signed a new two-year contract with the League One club.

The 23-year-old joined the O's from Derby County in January 2022.

Since then he has helped Orient win the League Two title in 2023 and scored three goals in 48 appearances last season.

"He arrived at Leyton Orient as a young player but has developed into an established League One midfielder who I think can keep getting better," Orient boss Richie Wellens told the club website., external

“He covers the pitch well, has a good range of passing and is starting to pop up with a goal or two.

"He is a very important member of our squad and is something that I believe could go on to play at a higher level.”

Leyton Orient have signed versatile forward Jamie Donley on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

Donley made his Premier League debut for Spurs last December against Manchester City, one of four appearances he's made so far.

The 19-year-old has been part of the club's academy since 2013 and has also made seven appearances for England's under-19 side, scoring five goals.

Donley said he wanted to "get first-team football under my belt" by joining Orient.

"I'm a team player. I like to score, assist and defend. I'll do whatever I can to help the team win, and will do what the staff ask of me.

"I played left-back for Tottenham in pre-season, I can play in midfield and anywhere across the front three," he said.

He becomes the O's seventh signing this summer, ahead of their League One game away to Charlton on Saturday.

Leyton Orient have signed midfielder Dominic Ball on a free transfer until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old has been without a club since he was released by Ipswich Town in the summer.

The O's are currently bottom of League One with no points from their first four matches but are through to the third round of the Carabao Cup.

"I look at the squad here, and it's full of really talented, young players, but you also need those older heads who have played at all different types of levels," he told the club website., external

"In my last two seasons at Ipswich we achieved back-to-back promotions, which was achieved by working hard individually and collectively.

"I'm hopeful that I can bring some of my experience from my career to help this team."

Ball was part of the academy at Tottenham Hotspur before moving to Rotherham United in 2016.

Loans at Peterborough United and Aberdeen followed before he moved permanently to QPR in 2019, where he made 97 appearances.

Ball signed for the Tractor Boys in 2022 and played 35 times as the club achieved promotion to the Championship and then to the Premier League.

Orient travel to Reading in League One on Saturday.
