Ethan Galbraith new club
Ethan Galbraith made one appearance for the Manchester United first team in 2019 away at Astana.
He is a Northern Ireland international, but at 22, he needed to go and play regular football.
He will now continue his career at Leyton Orient, who won promotion to League One last season, with Salford missing out in the play-offs.
This will be Galbraith’s second spell in League One, having previously played in the division on loan with Doncaster Rovers.
His manager at Leyton Orient is Richie Wellens, who signed him on loan for Doncaster back in 2021.
Speaking to the O’s website, Galbraith said: “From playing against Leyton Orient last season, I got a good feel for the side here, and the style of football.
“Richie was a big factor, I know how he likes to play, and how he wants to get the best out of his players, so it was a great fit.”
Galbraith had been linked with a move to Newcastle United, via National World, where he would have faced being loaned out. Stoke, Derby and Sunderland were all also linked.
