Leyton Orient are set to sign Myles Peart-Harris, a midfielder recently released by Oxford United.

What happened?

The 23-year-old Peart-Harris spent the second half of last season on loan with Oxford United in the Championship. He played 20 games for the club, scoring three goals, before being released at the end of his contract.

Why it matters for Leyton Orient

Leyton Orient, who finished 17th in League One with 51 points from 43 games, are looking to strengthen their squad. Their recent form has been DLLDD, with their last result being a 2-2 draw against Burton Albion on 2026-05-02.

What comes next?

According to reporter John Harriott, Peart-Harris is 'on the verge' of completing a free transfer to Leyton Orient. The move would reunite him with Scott Mitchell, Oxford United's former head of recruitment, who recently joined Leyton Orient as their new director of football. Mitchell reportedly views Peart-Harris as an upgrade on O's midfielder Charlie Wellens, the son of Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 17th in League One | | Points | 51 | | Games played | 43 | | Recent form | DLLDD | | Last result | Leyton Orient 2-2 Burton Albion (2026-05-02) | Leyton Orient are yet to make a signing in the summer transfer window, which opened last week.
