Leyton Orient have signed midfielder Lewis Warrington from Everton on a two-year deal.

Having come through the academy, the 21-year-old made his Premier League debut for the Toffees in a 1-0 win over Sheffield United in May.

Warrington spent the second half of 2021-22 on loan at Tranmere Rovers before joining Fleetwood Town on loan the following season, where he made 44 appearances and scored one goal.

He becomes the fourth summer signing for the O's, on a free transfer.

"As soon as I heard that Orient were interested I wanted to get down here and sign," he told the club's

"My decision was made easy after I met the gaffer [Richie Wellens] and, although there was other interest, I only ever wanted to come here after speaking to him.

"He was a midfielder himself, so I'm looking forward to learning from him. It feels like this club is on an upward trajectory and I'm really excited to be part of it."

Orient begin the League One season at home against Bolton Wanderers on 10 August.
