Defender Shane Lowry has reportedly been targeted by League One outfit Leyton Orient.

Despite making 23 appearances last season, Lowry was released by Millwall, but the 25-year-old has already gained plenty of interest in his signature.

According to Sky Sports News, Leyton Orient, who have recently been taken over by Italian Francesco Becchetti, head the race for the former Aston Villa trainee.

However, teams in the Championship are also said to be considering a move for the former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, while it is also believed that clubs from abroad have registered an interest.
