We understand that Dean Cox is a target for Cardiff City

Wed 13th May 2015


The 27-year-old has been at the O’s since 2010 and he has gone on to become one of the club’s most pivotal players, notching an impressive 209 appearances.

However, FLW understands that Cardiff City manager Russell Slade is eager to rejuvenate his team this summer, and has subsequently identified Cox as a player who can add a different element to the club’s midfield options.

Slade has experience of working with Cox when they were both at Orient, and the Cardiff City boss is seemingly keen for a reunion this summer.

The O’s endured only what can be described as a nightmare of a season, and were subsequently relegated to Sky Bet League Two after an abysmal League One campaign.

It is likely that a number of players at the London club will depart the Matchroom Stadium this summer, in pursuit of regular football in a higher division.

I could see this coming a mile off he is a player that Slade likes very much and that Orient are relegated he is going to jump at reunion with Slade in the championship i think he will be a good signing. :thumbright: :sladein: :ayatollah:

Keep him fit and he's a decent outfit, small In height but lightning quick and can whip in a decent ball, he needs to stay fit mind he was carrying extra weight last season a little off the pace.

if he signs then that blows my theory out the water that Slade only wants tall, muscular, athletic types. This guy is tiny

It looks like Slade is slowly turning us into a League 1 team. I am all for picking out 1 or 2 gems from the lower leagues but not constructing a first eleven from the lower leagues. If these 'hidden gems' were any good then they would have been snapped up by the top teams a long time ago.

Bring in a few but you also need proven experienced players at this level.
