Motherwell sign Leyton Orient midfielder Levitt

Motherwell have signed midfielder Dylan Levitt from Leyton Orient for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old, capped 13 times by Wales, has penned a two-year deal at Fir Park with Motherwell holding the option for a further year.

Levitt came through the Manchester United academy and is a familiar face in Scottish football, having previously played for Dundee United and Hibernian.

"I'm super happy with the signing of Dylan," Johansson said.

"He fits the way that we want to do things really well. He's good playing forward. He's actually excited by the fact of playing balls forward to his team-mates to feed them and that's all you want in a six.

"He is also mobile and moves well around the pitch so obviously that, together with his experience from up here, is a good match with us.

"With Oscar Priestman being out for a couple of months now, then it's needed. Joe [Hodge] and Lukas [Fadinger] can't play every game.

"This place is a place where we get the best out of people. Myself included. All my co-workers, all my directors, bosses, they get the best out of me as well. And that's why I have a strong belief that we'll be able to do that with Dylan too."

Levitt himself added: "I feel like I should be able to slot in here quickly and easily. From the games I've watched this season, this is the perfect system for me to play in.

"There are some really good players in the building, and now it's my job to get to work and try to push into the team."
