Oxford United midfielder Myles Peart-Harris is reportedly in talks to sign for League One rivals Leyton Orient. Peart-Harris spent the second half of last season on loan with the U's in the Championship.

What happened?

The 23-year-old was released by Oxford United last month after his contract expired.

He played 20 games for the club, scoring three goals.

Why it matters for Oxford United

The U's are looking to rebuild their squad after relegation to League One. Peart-Harris's departure is a significant loss for the team.

What comes next?

Oxford United are yet to make a first signing of the summer transfer window. They are also searching for a new head coach after parting ways with Matt Bloomfield.

Peart-Harris's potential move to Leyton Orient could be influenced by the U's former head of recruitment Scott Mitchell, who recently joined Orient as their new director of football. Mitchell reportedly views Peart-Harris as an upgrade on O's midfielder Charlie Wellens. The transfer window is open, and Oxford United fans are eagerly awaiting news of new signings. The U's are looking to bounce back from relegation and make a strong push for promotion next season.
