Leyton Orient have sold midfielder Dylan Levitt to Scottish Premiership side Motherwell for an undisclosed fee. The 25-year-old Welsh international has signed a two-year contract with the option of a further year.
Levitt departs Brisbane Road as the O's sit 17th in League One, having taken three points from their opening three matches. Their recent form reads LWL, with four goals scored and five conceded, leaving them four points behind early leaders Blackpool.
Dylan Levitt is a 25-year-old central midfielder who joined Leyton Orient after spells in Scotland with Dundee United and Hibernian. He began his career at the Manchester United academy and has been capped 13 times by Wales.
The sale provides Leyton Orient with transfer funds ahead of the window closing. Manager Richie Wellens now has a vacancy to fill in the centre of the park. The club's immediate focus shifts to their next match, an away trip to face Luton on September 5th. That fixture is part of a challenging start to the season, with all the upcoming games listed on our fixtures page.
Motherwell manager Stuart Johansson expressed clear enthusiasm for his new signing. "I'm super happy with the signing of Dylan," Johansson said. Levitt himself believes the move is a good fit, stating, "I feel like I should be able to slot in here quickly and easily." His experience in British football is expected to help him adapt swiftly to the Scottish top flight.
Following this transfer, Leyton Orient's immediate challenge is to improve their results on the pitch. They currently have a goal difference of minus one. The full League One standings, which show the O's four points from the summit, are always available on our standings page. The team's next opportunity to climb the table comes against 13th-placed Luton this Friday.
