Transfer: Boniface joins Leyton Orient

Ipswich full-back, Somto Boniface, has joined Leyton Orient on loan for the 2026/27 season.

The 20-year-old moved to the Championship from Chelsea in February 2025.

He was then intergrated into the first-team squads under Kieran McKenna.

Boniface is highly rated defender that operates from left-back.

He will however spend the next year with the League One club, to get enough playing time under his belt.

Following his loan move, Boniface could feature in Leyton’s preseason friendly against Antwerp on August 2.
