Monday 6 June 2016 18:25, UK
Leyton Orient have signed midfielder Robbie Weir on a free transfer from Burton and left-back Josh Doherty.
Weir's contract with the Brewers had expired and he has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the London club.
"It was good at Burton Albion. I had some fantastic times there - being promoted into League One and then into the Championship - and I am looking to produce similar things at Leyton Orient," Weir told Burton's official website.
Weir, 27, scored nine goals in a total of 184 appearances for Burton. He started out at York and spent two years at Tranmere before moving to the Pirelli Stadium on a free transfer in May 2012.
Meanwhile, the Os have signed Doherty on a one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
The 20-year-old left-back was released by Barclays Premier League side Watford at the end of the season and becomes the O's second signing of the day after midfielder Robbie Weir arrived on Monday morning.
Doherty is a Northern Ireland Under-21 international.
