Connor Wood: Tranmere Rovers sign ex-Leyton Orient full-back until the end of the season
Left-back Connor Wood has signed a contract with Tranmere Rovers that will last through the end of the League Two season.
Since leaving Leyton Orient following their League Two championship season, following 16 games on loan to Colchester, the 27-year-old had been without a club.
Wood, who spent time at Bradford and non-league clubs before joining Leicester’s junior ranks, has made a total of 169 senior games.
“He fits the description of a Tranmere player. He’s hard working, an excellent defender and has good crossing ability.
“He is a good pro with a great character and will fit in well with the squad.”
