Leyton Orient have signed winger Demetri Mitchell on a free transfer from Exeter City.
The 28-year-old turned down a contract from the Grecians in favour of a move to Brisbane Road.
Mitchell made 61 appearances for Exeter across two years, scoring 12 goals.
He missed the start and end of last season with injury, having suffered a serious knee ligament injury that kept him out for much of 2024.
Mitchell becomes Richie Wellens’ second summer signing, following goalkeeper Killian Cahill’s move from Brighton & Hove Albion.
“It feels great to be here. The club is full of energy and you can tell there is a very good team here. It’s full of togetherness and I’m buzzing to get going,” he told the club’s website, external.
“I’ve spoken to the manager before and it’s clear there is big ambition here. I want to progress and that is my aim here.
“I’m a versatile and attack-minded player. I like to get on the ball and drive with it and show a bit of flair, so hopefully the fans can see that here at Leyton Orient.”
Orient will begin the new League One season away to Huddersfield Town on Saturday, 2 August.
