What happened: Leyton Orient have completed the signing of 23-year-old winger Tony Springett on a two-year contract following his release from Norwich City. Springett, who made 19 appearances for the Canaries last season, will officially join the O's on July 1 as their first summer addition.

Why it matters: The move strengthens Richie Wellens' squad after a 20th-place finish in League One where they narrowly avoided relegation. Springett provides versatility and energy on the flanks, filling a key vacancy as Orient looks to climb the table in the 2026/27 campaign.

By the numbers: Tony Springett: 19 appearances, 2 goals (2025-26). Leyton Orient: 20th in League One, 52 points (3 points clear of relegation).

What to watch: Springett will join the squad for pre-season training ahead of friendlies against Watford and Barnet in July.
