07 July 2021

Leyton Orient have completed the signing of forward Harry Smith from Northampton.

Smith, 26, has signed a two-year deal and moves for an undisclosed fee.

After joining Millwall in 2016, the 6ft 5ins frontman went on to move to Macclesfield ahead of the 2018/19 season before heading to Northampton during the summer of 2019.

In January 2021, Smith joined Scottish side Motherwell on loan, making five appearances.

“As soon as I heard the interest from Leyton Orient and the manager, I knew it was the place I wanted to play football,” Smith said on the Leyton Orient club website.

“I met with (boss) Kenny (Jackett) for a chat and straight away I knew the club’s ambitions – that’s only one thing and that’s promotion.

“I’ve been involved in a couple and there’s no better feeling, so, hopefully this season we can achieve that.”

Smith added: “This season I want to help the team as much as I can – our objective is to achieve promotion.”
