Having been released at the end of his Canaries contract, he has agreed a two-year deal with Orient.<\/p>\n

Springett said: , external<\/a>“I’m delighted to have joined the club. The management team have set their standards for the season, and they all want a big improvement on the previous campaign.<\/p>\n

“The mindset of a club is one of the most important factors when looking to push on and, after speaking to the gaffer, I believe the club are heading in the right direction and I can’t wait to get started.”<\/p>\n

London-born Springett has had loan spells at Derby County and Northampton Town and has also played for the Republic of Ireland at youth level.<\/p>\n

O’s boss Richie Wellens told the club website:, external<\/a> “Tony’s a young player and he’s had a good experience at Norwich. <\/p>\n

“He’s full of energy and will suit the style of play that we want to execute. He’s got the right attributes; pace, power, brilliant stamina, and he’s prepared to run.<\/p>\n

“He can press with real intensity and we’re going to give him a massive start-up in his career.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leyton Orient have made their first signing of the summer, bringing in Tony Springett following the winger’s recent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":634268,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-634267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=634267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/634268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
