Leyton Orient HubLeyton Orient have signed full-back Fin Stevens from German club St Pauli for an undisclosed fee. The 23-year-old, who was born in Brighton but has two caps for Wales, has agreed a three-year deal with the O's.
What happened?
Stevens played just twice in the Bundesliga for St Pauli over the past two seasons, having joined in 2024 from Brentford, where he made 10 first-team appearances.
Why it matters for Leyton Orient
The signing of Stevens is a significant boost to Leyton Orient's squad, particularly in the full-back position. Stevens' experience in the Championship and Premier League will be invaluable to the team.
What comes next?
Leyton Orient are currently 17th in League One, with 51 points from 43 games, and a recent form of DLLDD. Their last result was a 2-2 draw against Burton Albion on 2026-05-02.

Stevens told the Orient website, 'This move means a lot to me - I have family ties to east London.' An Arsenal academy product, released by the Gunners aged 16, Stevens played non-league football with Sussex club Worthing before joining Brentford's B team in 2020.
He made his debut for the Bees as a 79th-minute substitute during a 3-0 win over Fulham in the EFL Cup, and later made two appearances in the Championship and one in the Premier League, late on in a game against Southampton in January 2022. Stevens then played five times in the Championship while on loan at Swansea City, before spending the 2023-24 season in League One with Oxford United, where he made 43 appearances in all competitions as the U's won promotion.
At the end of that campaign, Brentford allowed him to join St Pauli but he has now returned to England. His two Wales caps came in friendlies against Gibraltar and Slovakia in 2024.
