Albion defender Ed Turns is heading back to Leyton Orient.

The 20-year-old has rejoined the O’s on a season-long loan.

Turns spent the second half of last season with Orient, making 16 appearances as they clinched the League Two title.

He has spent pre-season back with the Seagulls and played in the Premier League Summer Series.

Turns comes from Mid Sussex and has been with Albion since he was 14.

He signed new terms last month, taking him through until at least June, 2025.

Albion technical director David Weir said: “Ed had a great few months with Orient last season.

“He went straight into the team and played an important role as they were promoted.

“This is an ideal move for Ed as he gets to challenge himself in a higher league and in an environment he’s already familiar with.

“Gordon Greer and his team will be in close contact with Ed throughout the season.”
