Leyton Orient have announced their retained list following the conclusion of the 2017/18 National League season and there are very few surprises.
The main news to come from the announcement is the fact Jake Caprice, Christian Scales and Rommy Boco have been transfer listed despite all three having another year to run on their contract.
Boco and left-back Scales failed to feature under O’s head coach Justin Edinburgh, while right-back Caprice’s last appearance for Orient was the 1-0 defeat at home to Torquay United on March 13.
The positive news from the retained list is the fact young goalkeeper Sam Sargeant has been offered a new contract while academy forward Ruel Sotiriou has also been offered his first professional deal.

As expected, Orient have exercised the option in Josh Koroma and Myles Judd’s deals to keep them at Brisbane Road for another season.

Adams remains in talks with Orient over a permanent deal with Edinburgh revealing he is keen to sign the midfielder before the end of the season.
