Crowe joined Leeds in 2009 on a free transfer from Northampton

Leyton Orient have completed the signing of Leeds United defender Jason Crowe on a free transfer.

The 32-year-old had his contract at Elland Road cancelled by mutual consent on Monday and he will join Orient until the end of the season.

O's boss Russell Slade told the club website: "I'm delighted to bring Jason to the club - it's a deal I've been trying to do for the last few days.

"He's versatile and can play anywhere across the back or midfield."

Slade added: "He's a good utility player, with a great attitude and good energy."

Crowe, who started his career as a youngster at Arsenal, played under Slade during his time at Grimsby Town.

He left the Mariners for Northampton in 2005 before joining Leeds, where he made 27 appearances, in 2009.
